Bughouse and Zhouse (Scroll down to see entire post)

Today my partner, davijerr, and I managed to win a game (as Black against gnejs, who was probably the strongest bughouse player in the world for much of the 90s. Bughouse is so popular in his native Sweden that Russians call bughouse  шведский, or Swedish chess.  My partner was a (possibly underrated) 1700. 1. Nf3 (This is a departure from the 1.e4 that I see most often.  Even though the Knight could be used to attack f7, he assumes that I know how to defend against such an attack) 1..e6 2. Nc3 (I think this was unusual, as he is not moving a pawn to the center)   2..e6 (helps guard the c4 to f7 diagonal)  3. e4 Nf6 4. d4 Nc6 5. d5 (this sets a trap, which I always seem to fall into, and this game was no exception)  Ne5  (the correct move is Nb8 so the knight cannot be traded off)  6. Nxe5 dxe5 7. Bb5+ c6 8. dxc6 Qxd1+ 9. Nxd1  bxc6 10. Bxc6+ B@d7 11. Bxa8 This is even worse than it looks. N@c7 (This is a funny looking mo...

Here Black is a beginner and White is not that much better. 1. e4 e5   (1..e5 is not recommended for beginners.  He should play 1..e6.  Here Black is already on the road to allowing the sac on f7.  There are some good players who allow the sac on f7, but I think its more to prove they can defend as opposed to it being a good idea to allow it.)  2.Bc4 Nf6 (Black's best hope of preventing the sacrifice is 2..Qe7. ) 3.Nc3 Bc5 (The purpose of this move is to threaten a sac on f2.  However White can sac on f7 and not allow the sac on f2) 4. p@e3 b5 (this is a chess move.  It doesn't answer the threat of Bxf7+.   It leaves two many weaknesses.  Furthermore, in bughouse, losing a pawn is like losing two pawns.   5. Bxb5 (I would have taken on f7.  The bishop is not useful if it is blocked by the d-pawn)  5..c6. 6.Bc4 d5 7exd OO (This seems a bit bizarre, as Black's plan was to play cxd) 8.dxc6 Nxd6 9.Nf3 Bg4 10...
