The Morra Gambit Declined [B21]

The Morra Gambit is a fun, attacking opening but what happens when Black is scared enough to decline the free pawn?

Philippe-Roberts is a great advert for White who creates a powerful attack and wins in dramatic style.

In the game Taylor-Perelshteyn, both sides have their chances but it is White who takes risks to win and then regrets it!

The need to strike hard when given the chance is explored in Vera-Nina.

Novelty of the month

Novelty of the month appears in Robbiano Taboada-Granda Zuniga [B24] where White plays a move that I have never seen before and probably after this loss never will again!
