Subject: Vienna Game

Message:
Hi everyone!

This is a very oldy worldy opening. With the advent of the Sicilian Defence (I have faced a lot of Sicilians, particularly in my 3 mini-tournaments) this opening seems to have gone out of fashion.

My mentor, Ionadowman and I decided to run through the Vienna to see what came out of it in an unrated game which I lost called "An Expert Lesson in Piece Placement Part 2".

Have any of you tried out this opening and if so, what are your views?

I hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Bye for now.

Joanne

loreta...

... Do you mean a Vienna Gambit, with 3.f2-f4, or the Vianna Game with 3.Bc4? Joanne played the gambit line to which i responded with 3...d5, which seems to give Black a reasonable game.

But 3.Bc4, not so ambitious nor so committal, might in long run offer better chances.

Any thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Ion

Huh...

Message:
I just mean 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 - and that could evolve later into "gambit" or "game"...
Black has few quite good responses: 2. ... Nf6; 2. ... Nc6; 2. ... Bc5 and so...
