4...Qd5

The dramatic, and probably unsound, 4...Qd5 was played by Thomas Johansson against Nora Medvegy in the EU Championship and Cork Chess Congress in 2005. White was unable to take advantage, and the game continued as follows:

1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Qd5 5. Nc3 Qd6 6. Bc4 Nf6 7. Nge2 Bf5 8. Bf4 Qd8 9. d5 Nxd5 10. Nxd5 cxd5 11. Qxd5 Qxd5 12. Bxd5 Nc6 13. O-O-O f6 14. Nd4 Nxd4 15. Rxd4 e5 16. Bxb7 Rb8 17.
