This Vienna line arises after 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 (ECO C27). Black audaciously grabs the e4 pawn, after which dizzying complications begin, with sacrifices and pieces being hunted down.
In the main line White causes trouble with Qh5 and Nb5, regaining material, while Black defends and counter-attacks. The position is so sharp and bloodthirsty that it earned its cinematic name.
The Frankenstein-Dracula is a rare but thrilling forcing line for anyone unafraid of wild tactics who enjoys calculating long complications.
