This is my variation on the Nezhmetdinov/Rossolimo attack.  It has no name and the big heads never play it.  I use it to great effect and want it named the "Kleinschmidt" defense.

That's all.

Did that happen? Lol

All the time. I have several games end in this position. It's not the best move, but it is a surprise because it's not in the opening book. Maybe they are cheap victories, but I have to take what I can get.

I think it should be named after a city that has a population of 1.

If this happens all the time your rating would be higher, or do you play the variation from both colors? 🤔

I always play to win, and I win more than I lose with this variation. See, the strongest players don't play this attack. The people who play this attack can still be beat - even if they avoid the trap.
