The Idiotos Gambit (explained)

The Idiotos Gambit is a great opening system. The main problem with this old-fashioned gambit is that only strong players with deep postional understanding of the game can handle it correctly. 

Here is a well-known game where the "old lion", Kasparov, uses the Idiotos against the mighty Deep Blue engine. This game is called the "Oh-shit game" because Kasparov said: "OH SHIT!" when he got mated by the formidable machine and lost the game after a brilliant move made by DB. Enjoy!

Here is my favorite variation of the Idiotos Gambit (Morphy himself played white).

Morphy said he missed Qd4+ after Nc3.
