Let's try something different.
“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,
and the other kind,

don’t
say. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs

On the contrary, From's is one of my favorite stupid gambits.

If you want to proceed with the usual {2... d6 3. exd6 Bxd6}, you can assume I'll go along with it and continue {4. Nf3}

Not that much of a delay, no apology needed. I hope you feel better.

I went ahead and added PGN tags to the game because I am
that
nerdy.

Ow wow, I didn't even realize that was what you meant, was just really curious as to where the trap was and couldn't find it.

Pretty sure Menalque said that takebacks are just not allowed. What a bummer of a way to get an advantage though.

I'll ping Menalque for a ruling on whether I can voluntarily allow a takeback in this case.

Thank you, fearless leader!

Now I just need to remember what I was planning to do in the first place.

Thanks for the game!

I had a really nice combination planned if 21... Rxh2?? but you didn't play that so I just went for the crudely effective move instead.

I think 23. Nxg5 would have answered that nicely.
