Most opponents who play the careless 6 . . . ltJ f6?! are too inexperienced to handle the violence after 7.e5. Nevertheless, I include the best computer defenses. In all lines, White retains at least a pull.This i s considered the classical main line of the Morra Gambit. Yet after this necessary compromise to the Scheveningen structure, the floodgates open, and White's pieces bathe freely on the weak d5-square. Now, I digress. Groggy in the morning while visiting my family, I logged onto the ICC, sending out an open 3-minute challenge. Low and behold, ex-FIDE World Champion Ponomariov accepts and the game abruptly begins (ah, the joys of Internet chess} .

Be water, my friend } 7 Even "The Boss" himself, arguably the greatest player of all time, Garry Kasparov (also known as "The Beast from Baku"), has come to experience the Morra's sharp sword. To his credit, Kasparov only faces the gambit here in a simul against the young and future GM Landa, so he could not give the defensive effort his full power. Too bad no one ever had the nerve to play the Morra against Kasparov in a real tournament! One thing is certain the legendary World Champion is not a man known to decline a fight.l .e4 c5 2.d4 cx:d4 3.c3 dxc3 4.�xc3 � c6 5.tLl6 In every example in this book, White's king's knight will develop to its natural f3-square.

White must keep the e7bishop submerged.White's raking bishops and superior development more than compensate for his slightly mangled pawn structure. See also Tal - Dzindzichashvili, New York (blitz) 1 99 1 , in the supplemental games, for an instructive "isolani" effort from the great world champion. Yl!fc8!

As we shall see repeatedly, b l is the optimal square for the light-squared bishop in the Morra-Maroczy. Not only does it perform important defensive work in the center, but it aims straight at the heart of the enemy king through the e4-stronghold.
