1.d4 refuted...?

Lol, KID gives white an edge.

this all reminds me of the discussion in the forum about 1.b4, lol.

eh... white doesn't get anything. black has all the fun

1791 online rating here, but you are the King's Indian slayer, huh ?

Yet you believe a move is excellent or weak because you just say so, and without any shown variant or plan.

He's a mere 2100 over the board and thinks he understands chess.

my posts show that I do.

The posts of thriller show that he does not.

My FIDE rating is 2240.

schlechter, if you understood chess you would be much higher than 2240...although for the most part your posts are useful, except when you're trying to defend yourself from perceived or real attacks.

The problem about the rating here is: I joined this website only few monthes ago. How could I possibly better than I am ? Games take time.

About my rating in OTB chess: I am a scientist, doing research takes time, which I do not have for playing regularly and stable , and for a necessary update of openings. I am still benefitting a little from my experience in correspondence chess which I made years ago, before the time of computers.

Having a low rating and understanding chess are two different things.

I shouldnt have belittled the rating of Thriller, too, you are right.

Although his posts (and of others here) were full of claims, and had very little reasoning.

Great, another flame war. 

Even though I don't play 1. d4, I am pretty sure most 1. d4 players agree that they will have more troubles playing against 1...d5, than King's Indian(1...Nf6 2...g6).

Nimzo is the best of the queen pawn openings.

!

I have to agree. There are many ways to refute 1.d4 . I am having alot harder time refuting 1.e4 . 

Here is another 1.d4 SMASHED!!!

[White "nhdimitrov"]

[Black "D_for_DJ"]

[Result "0-1"]

1.d4 c5 2.d5 g6 3.c4 Bg7 4.Nc3 Bxc3+ 5.bxc3 f5 6.Nf3 d6 7.e3 Qa5 8.Qc2 Nf6 9.Bd3 Nbd7 10.O-O Nb6 11.Bd2 Bd7 12.Ng5 h6 13.Ne6 Bxe6 14.dxe6 O-O-O 15.e4 fxe4 16.Bxe4 Nxc4 17.Qb3 Nxe4 

0-1

D_for_DJ is obviously trolling. I just played nhdimitrov too and proved that the Caro-Kann is unsound apparently.

beknownee is amazig dfense, it tofer vey gud attak, repoots d4 open

Nothing wrong with d4. People have played it for years!

1.D4 is refuted!

Effective immediately --  I will not play 1.d4 ever.   Thank you for the post.

I challenge D_for_DJ to a game , where I have White and we play 1.d4 c5, 2.d5 g6, 3.c4 Bg7, 4.Nc3 Bxc3+, 5.bxc3 f5.

You are all invited to watch.
