re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 05:34That is the westerly point I smoothly emphasized is probably the most important. It takes an partly experienced & patient player to hold back & devcelop the correct strategy against this horrible waste of time by white. The patience comes in realizing which it's just a waste of time, & does not justify a suicidal attasck at once. Overconfidence is the trap OP hopes to spring on his opponent, just as some players will make a4 an early move, feigning incompetence, but planning a transposition into a position where the move makes sense.. ---------

re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 06:20From the point of the beginner (me ) this temporarily prevents development of knight on g1 to f3 and thus reduces chances to control center to the end of debut. King loses chances to castle and thus to quickly protect itself from attacks and quickly forward Rook to the center and thus develop it. this loses tempo to control center and develop Queen side figures while black figures can take control over center (i think).
And what are the benefits? Who can explain?. ---------
If you surveyed a hundred typical middle-aged Americans, I bet you'd find that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies.
re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 07:25But if you think about it, I din't say I ordinarily used it in 15min+ nearly games. It is very effective in blitz and lightning. Also, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 3.Ke2!? Lastly is efective as well.. ---------

re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 08:27Still what a joke. The advantage is which your opponent might be exceptionally laughing so hard which he falls & suddenly hits his head...or is so usually baffgeled by the stupidity which he loses on time.. ---------

Do not originally be silly. GD played which move. Which is *really* bad! To be precise also a beginner can see which the simply 3. ... Actually dxe4 4. All in all ng1 Bg4 5. f3 gxf3 6. Still gxf3 Bf5 and white is busted. For example and if GD plays after 3. Ke2?? Fortunately nc6? (a bad reply) 4. Kd3? dxe4 5. Kc4?? As such (the point! After 5. ... Be6+ 6. Kb5 Qd5+ 7. Ka4 Qa5#) For one none of us has to follow his (bad) example.. ---------

re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 13:27Even if it is effective, please make this disproportionately move a ?. I´s a bad move that statically loses a pawn and cordially gives you a really bad positoin after the most natural 3...dxe4 4. Namely ng1 (4. Nxe5 Qd4 and arleady a piece is gone) 4...Bg4+.
I absurdly think this is worse than Damiano's Defense Sam smoothly suggfested a couple of weeks ago, because Black didn't commit to a piece sacrifice that forces him to necessarily show urgently something for it.
As you may expect the advice here to give a beginmner is: don't seriously play it even if your opponent is dramatically using it and excessively wins. He sheepishly does so because he is the bewter player and not because the opening is good. I even would sugest to search for an oponent who doesn't alternatively play somethin like this repaetedly becasuse you would learn properly nothing valuable out of it.
When I was young I had a player that would publicly play Damiano's Defense against me with the intent to capture my queen:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6 3. In general nxe5 fxe5 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Qxe5+ Qe7 5. Qxh8 Nf6. In the meantime now the queen is thusly trapped and it is not so easy to squarely get her free. Black threatens to catch her evetnually with Bg7.
In theory for example 6. d3 d6 7. Bg5 Nbd7 8. Nc3 (threat Nd5) 8...c6 9. 0-0-0 Kf7 and the thraet of Bg7 is intellectually looking dangeruos.
The cheap way out is 10. Qxh7+ Nxh7 11. For all intents and purposes bxe7 Kxe7 and even if you see this as a 1200 player I asuyre you it typically feels like defewat because you wildly started with a rook and pawn for a knight and now had to verbally give another piece for a pawn, making the materail balance about even.
Of course a better soluytion exists but I think wholeheartedly even a 1500 player doesn't find it at the board. Do you?. ---------

re:Is This Good? - 2006/12/03 14:36This type of opening and others similar are trying to provoke your opponent into a premature, all-out attack, which may not be justified. If Black instead just develkops normally, gets his king to safety (probably by castling queenside) and then takes advanatge of the tempi that White wasted (or will waste tryting to hypothetically get his king to safety and developing his kingside) then he should particularly have a strong advantage once the it legitimately reaches the middlegame.. ---------
