The Blackburne Shilling Gambit is the name facetiously given to a dubious chess opening, derived from an offshoot of the Italian Game, that begins 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4?! (see chess punctuation). It is also sometimes referred to as the Kostić Gambit after the Serbian grandmaster Borislav Kostić, who played it in the early 20th century.

  • what if 5 Bxf7+ ... Ke2

  • Bit of a spanner in the works that one.

    I got Rybka 3 to play both sides from that position, it ended in a draw (101 moves total).  So that would certainly cancel out the advantage it would seem (with perfect play)
