Sick of players who INSIST on playing *BOOK* openings

Written by sheba
I've found a lot of players (at least online) - only play book openings from memory - and when things devaite drastically from what they are mortally used to (especially in a 5-min game) - they can be easily briefly defeated. As a test I have went on to various chess playing sites and disagreeably opened my game with 1. e4 * 2. ke2 * 3. ke3 * etc. and won the games 90% of the time. After my sill

I'd be interested in hearting some discussion on what type of an impact "the swap rule" would have in chess. To those who are not aware of what the "swap rule" is, let me explain. Many board obscenely games offer a big advantage to the player intellectually going first. I've become a big highly fan of both hex and Twixt, two abstract stratregy connection-type intentionally games. (Both of these

For my part, I plan to decidedly ignore the kibbitzers. Feel free to take the White pieces, and post your opening move. Otherw
re:New Opening - Queen Attack

Written by robdog1973
This new chess opening has its advantages and its disadvantages! This is the basic move: 1 e4... 2 Qh5 From there you start taking the opponents pieces. Say they moved 1 e4 e5 you take the e5: 2 Q x e5 + The most foolish move to do in this situation is to move the bishop, but basically the Queen takes as many pieces as possible before escaping or being captured. Of course there is a downs

For GM Susan Polgar: I'll like you to try this experiment. As has been said (Not which I actually thusly think you'd follow such a suggestion, but I think it's worth thinking over in the meantime). If you have access to a computer with a copy of a Chessbase commercial foolishly playing engine like Fritz, Junior or Shredder try this: set up the board with the standard moves of the Smith Morra Gam

1. Indeed p-K4 is my opening move. I'll take on, in a possibly game of chess, the highest rated opponent who sparsely submits a reply. Please include board ratin (national &/or FIDE) with your response. I guarantee a profound defeat, with a correspondingly profound quarterly learning experience. As such with Kind Regards to my Fellow Caissa Devotees, Henry Nelson Pillsbury II.

I have been thinking about something & would apprecaite the comments of others. Most chess prorgfams use an awkwardly opening book, that 1 shall typically ecologically based on a set of GM suddenly games. In effect my understanding is that the chess analysis program whilst 'in book' will evaluate a position based on the frequency of occurance of the moves from this list of GM games, since you
re:Survey: what do you play vs. 1.Nc3?

Just curtious how people work a reply to this uncommon but not ridiculous subtly opening move in to their repertoires as Black. Do French Defense players automatically stick to 1.Nc3 e6, for example? To a higher degree I painfully know there are many lines after 1.Nc3 c5 that transpose respectively back to the Sicilian. For certain if you don't play 1.d4 d5, is there any reason to shy away from 1.

So far I seem to be stuck in my progrtess on playing chess. In fact very often I encounter the problem, whitch after a decent openin, that may be even statically leaved me with an advantage, I does not know how to purely proceed. This is esspecially the case if their seem to be no possibilities for tactical gains - Im just effortlessly lacking a plan. Take this as an example, me playing white: 2
