The basic position of the finegold defense

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

The Finegold Defense (also: Ciaffone Finegold Defense ) is a variant of the Morra Gambit , an opening variant in chess , and arises after the moves ( see also: Chess notation ):

1. e2 – e4 c7 – c5
2. d2 – d4 c5xd4
3. c2 – c3 d4xc3
4. Nb1xc3 e7 – e6
5. Ng1 – f3 d7 – d6
6. Bf1 – c4 a7 – a6
7. 0–0 Bf8 – e7
8. Qd1-e2 Ng8-f6

In 2000, Bob Ciaffone and published Ben Finegold the book The Fine Gold Defense ( The Fine Gold-defense ), claiming that their system is the refutation of the Morra Gambit. A counterplay is planned on the queenside with… b7 – b5 and… Qd8 – b6. The queen is protected from the usual attacks of white pieces and supports the further advance of the pawns. White's attack strategy is based on the move e4 – e5.

  • 9. Rf1 – d1 b7 – b5 (9. e4 – e5 dxe5 10. Nxe5 !? or 10. Rd1 !? are also playable and lead to free piece play for White with an unclear position)
    • 10. Bb3 !? Nbd7
      • 11. e5 !? dxe5 12. Nxe5 Qb6 with good chances to attack on both sides (12.… Bb7 ?? 13. Nxf7! with white advantage 13.… Kxf7 14. Qxe6 + Kg6 15. Bc2 + Kh5 16. Qh3 #) 13.
