Tennison Gambit Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Variation - Goodbye Scandinavian

Sort:
The_Arrow_Of_Requiem

My stomach......... Man, I am still laughing at the thought of this variation. So those who do not know this, it is basically making a ton of sacrifices for to capture the opponent queen. But this can be avoided very easily as you have to play Scandinavian and do not play the following moves required for this attack.

Ok here is the description of a game consisting of TG:ICBM 

I had basically tried to RT-2PM2 «Topol-M» cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile and failed miserably. I am not going to show preview of how I failed.

I wanna know how was your experience in playing this tactic.

Some people think you are a queen up but engine says +3.5 and although it is a lot, you can still use some tricks.

But the opening is funny. No doubt.

You can actually do the Reti opening and bait the d5 and proceed with the Missile variation! O___________o

Fellow 600s rejoice

its actually completely losing when you take the pawn so long as your opponent knows what to play

Yea, the queen can very easily be trapped.

You see, this variation is disallowed, as the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile would put your King in check. Also, as it is a fairy piece, it is disallowed in FIDE Chess matches.

9. Qd3+

I actually used this in a recent game! They ended up resigning almost instantly lol.

9. Qxc7 is a bad move because Nc6 traps the queen. This will be followed by either Nd5 or Ne8 and Black ends up a piece. Instead White should bring the queen back with something like 9. Qd3+

If you're a beginner at chess tho, you can use an anti-tank guided missile. We'll use the M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, and watch as I, GM Vikram Rahul Abishek Pranav Rajesh, maneuver the ATGM to control the chess board.

it is trapped but u can’t really capture it the minute anything moves it can escape

Good opening

Black easily wins the queen after Ne8 or Nd5, and there's nothing White can do about it.

Not really. After 2. Nf3 black has an easy game. Instead of 3...Nf6 black can play 3...e5 and black is fine.

The rare case of an "I invented an opening" post that is actually funny.

if ur icbm failed, then u can use an anti tank guided missile instead
