OK, I tried to play Owen’s Defense and check out this trap I fell into on move 4. I thought he blundered the pawn, but it turns out I blundered my castle rights. I hung around and was able to grind out a win I didn’t deserve, but that 4. Bxf7+ was pretty clever.
1. e4 b6
2. Nf3 Bb7
3. Bc4 Bxe4 ?!
4. Bxf7+ !! Kxf7
5. Ng5+ ! Ke8

Thanks for sharing, that’s highly instructive! Also, nice end game and great job grinding out that win with your back against the wall.

Moving the kings pawn in the standard sequence is my way of preventing this. I almost never deviate at that point unless things are already totally weird.
But it only takes one nasty little tactic at the end to win sometimes. Congrats on pulling it out. The computer clearly hated this game. Never discount winning desperate games on a stupid backrank checkmate or similar…. These things happen.
