i find the montevideo retreat a nice way to win. (1.d4 nc6 2.d5 nb8), especially when i dont feel like playing the complications of 2.ne5. i think its more sound than the brooklyn alekhine.

 

There's an opening called the Montevideo? I need to check this out haha

I suppose you mean the "French Alekhine"?

Not insulted in anyway but I mean enough of playing kiddy openings. So when I saw this 2. Qh5, I told him its a waste of an opening and I can defend this line, but I refused to be part of this kid opening and resigned.

there is only the alekhine chatard gambit in the french but i even gave the first moves

 

i dont know what you mean unless you toss out the first moves

You did the right thing.

you did not the right thing as long as your opponent plays legal moves he is doing everything ok

if you are too lazy too deal with offbeat lines it is your problem and your opponent can smile

Disgusting!

Ex Tennis Star Boris Becker played the Parham attack (that Qh5 stuff you described) in an exhibition match against Garry Kasparow, would have been pretty funny if Garry yelled disgusting! and stormed out of the room leaving becker the win no?

you'd have to be a numnut to get insulted by an opening.

Indeed. I imagine the Ivanchuk game would be the most triggering to those sorts of people. I really like it though.
