I can refute Parham :D Haha! :)

How? Russia produced some of the greatest chess players of all time (Helzeth, or AcivilizedGentleman is an obvious exception), the KG is the worst opening of all time. Russia is the Parham of chess.

Wait, did you close your own account or did FL-chessplayer report you. Because I just sent him a rather long message telling him nicely not to report players Laughing

Russia is the equivalent of the KG in chess terms.

You must not study openings much. 

The KG has been played by some of the best players in history with devastating results.

Bobby Fischer lost to the gambit by playing Boris Spassky.

I busted the P.

He didn't bust anything. 

He only wrote that article after he lost to the King's Gambit.

Fischer himself played it with great success.

If fischer says it's busted, that's good enough for me.

Fishcer tried out 3 games with it but still agreed it was busted.

Who cares what Fischer thinks.

The KG has been played by GM's and IM's for the past fifty years with great success.

There is no support for Fischer's conclusion that the KG is busted.

vastly more people than care what Vereslov thinks.  In fact, I think there is only 1 person on chess.com who cares what Vereslov thinks and that ios Vereslov.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. 

Fischer claimed the King's Gambit is busted. 

Where is the evidence? GM's have been playing this gambit for the past fifty years in high level tournaments with great success.

Fischer got arrogant because he lost to Spassky via KG.

There is no evidence to support KG is busted.

You know, Fischer didn't play the parham, so I don't think he was a good enough player to comment on the KG Laughing.

And MSC, the mainline is: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 Nf6 5. Ne2. Black can do many different moves after that, how would you bust that.

No he said 2...Nc6, what you have shown above is the kiddie countergambit, which is even worse for black.
