Smith–Morra Gambit

The Morra Gambit was already played sporadically by Tartakower. However, it was only analyzed in more detail in the 1940s by its French namesake Pierre Morra (1900-1969). However, the gambit owes its testing in the tournament halls of grandmasters to the Yugoslav Milan Matulović, which is why it was occasionally named after him in Eastern Europe in the early 1960s.

The Morra Gambit has the goal Sb1xc3 in common with the Goering Gambit: 4. c2-c3 with the refusal d7-d5 or the acceptance d4xc3 5. Sb1xc3
