Okay. Fair enough. Here's a chess related question GM Susan Polgar. How
come Judit Polgar never uses the Smith Morra Gambit against opponents
like Kramnik or Kasparov when she has the chance? Why can't she blaze
the trail to use openings that haven't been seen in tournament play for
a very long time, say The King's Gambit? If I'm not mistaken, Judit
Polgar likes the Vienna Game, which I use pretty frequenly myself when I
play online. Why doesn't she use this?
Very funny Question. Apparently, you do not play chess.
The Morra Gambit, also known as the Moron Gambit, which begins with 1.
e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Nxc3 simply looses a pawn. An opening
like that smply cannot be played against Kasparov or Kramnik or anyone
above the master level.
Judit Polgar does play the King's Gambit. That is one of her main
lines, but she does not use it against world class competition.
