Mad? Maybe. Bad? Possibly. Dangerous? Definitely.
In October’s d-Pawn Specials, @richardpalliser looks at the Kilkenny/Bronstein Gambit, a blitz favourite of @ginger_gm.
Here’s one of Simon’s games, plus the article 👇

Decided to unleash absolute chaos on the board with this dubious line in the Rossolimo! 🎃 I looked up this idea from the June 2026 Anti-Sicilian issue by @ginger_gm on @chesspublishing . It felt like a perfectly terrifying choice on Halloween! 👻

@_Dlite ...cxd4 a move ago, before ...a4 is probably decent!?
Or just go 1...a6 and 🙏

Nice plan, putting the King on h2. 🙌

Somehow my team Cheddleton who have no GMs playing, are fighting for a medal, and a place in the 'European Super League'.
Frankly it is rather ridiculous 😅
Can they pull off the biggest upset in chess history and win today?
I will be commentating on the match later!

@GSharks4NCL Legends don't sit out 😇

[Sharks 4NCL 🦁 @GSharks4NCL]
