Polish Opening 1.b4 Cavicchi

Francesco Cavicchi combines Polish Opening 1.b4 with Bird’s Opening 1.f4 to build up a promising attack on the kingside. White quickly brought three pieces and a queen into the action while Black moves only pawns and a king. Once things got going, it was just a matter of time before White would win big material or apply a checkmate.
