The Stafford Gambit doesn't fare well there. It requires Black to play 3. ... Nc6 in the Russian defense after
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5
which according to Stockfish loses more than a pawn's worth
(eval +2 for white after Nxc6 d3 Bc5 h3). The Noah's Ark Trap is much safer, as black only loses a fraction of a pawn going into the line (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruy_Lopez,_Noah%27s_Ark_Trap ). |
