In chess, the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation is a variant of the Vienna Game with many complications. 1 e4 e5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 Bc4 Nxe4!? 4 Qh5!? Nd6 5 Bb3 Nc6 6 Nb5 g6 7 Qf3 f5 8 Qd5 Qe7 9 Nxc7+ Kd8 10 Nxa8 b6. White's knight is trapped in the corner and can be won by ...Bc8-b7xa8. Black has a very good centre and his bishops will obtain long diagonals. White brought out his queen too early. It's possible to say that Black has suffient compensation for the exchange.
