The second huge problem with the morra is the fact that black can force a trasposition to a sicilian alapin with 3...Nf6 or 3...d5; worse still, since white is already committed to d4, he is not even allowed to play the strongest alapin lines (delaying d4 for a while is considered the relatively best try for an advantage in the alapin). Esserman made an attempt to make these alapin lins interesting for white in his book on the morra, but the general opinion is that he failed and black has a fairly easy game against his suggested lines.

Summing it up, it doesn't make a lot of logical sense to play the morra as a surprise weapon, since it requires a lot of study for very litte reward (black can easily decline and have a good game). On the other hand we are amateurs playing for fun and there is no reason to be "logical" in our choice of openings: the morra gambit accepted is fun to play, pratically dangerous and quite instructive if you're tring to improve your attacking play. If you like the resulting positions there is no reason to stay away from it. 041b061a72
