One time I played against this one vato who tried the Elephant Gambit on me (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5), we exchanged pawns (3. Nxe5 dxe4), I forked his queen and rook (4. Nxf7), he moved his king (4...Kxf7), then I kept checking him (5. Bc4+ Ke8 6. Qh5+ Kd7 7. Qf5+ Kc6 8. Qxe4+), he ran away but this time to the wrong square (8...Kd7) so then I was like what's up essay and I checkmated him (9. Qe6#)
@ChessCholo it was risky to play 4. Nxf7 because 4... Kxf7 5. Bc4+ Be6 6. Qh5+ g6 7. Bxe6+ Kxe6 8. Qh3+ Ke7 and black is better. In fact this "elephant gambit" it's a weak opening for black and it bets everything on a questionable move 5... Qg5.
5.Nxf7 is terrible and lost in all variations...much better is 5.Bxf7 with a comfortable position for white. 6.Qh5 is also lost after 6...g6 or ...Nf6.
A very unusual opening. Queen to g5 was a brave move, but white's Qh5 was even better. This game is resembling Anderssen's Immortal vs. Kieseritzky. I love these kind of quick attacks from start though i don't dare to play like this. All in all, a very beautiful game indeed. Favorited and thanks.
great game as always mato,this must be your full time job going through all the games ,old as well as new.but all your choices are great to see.good work.

@ChessCholo Well done!

@MatoJelic Thanks ay! It only worked because he kept doing king moves. He could've stopped the first check (5...Be6). I just got lucky!
