why not take whites knight on move 7?

Yeah, it's probably one of the most crazy opening there is though. If you like tactical games, this variation is for you.

And who would these two players be?

It's a Bishop's opening, not a Vienna (White plays f4 in the Vienna).


 I beg your pardon, but the Vienna game is a chess opening characterized by the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3. Yes, one of the main goals of the vienna game is usuallly to play an eventual f4, but not always.

Van Oosterom Joop is an ex, or maybe even current?, coorespondence chess champion. There is some debate about how much help he got from Jerone Piket to win this title...
