Yes, I know I have already posted a forum about this group. But we are desperate for more members, as we want to play in the Openings League, but need more members.
So, do you think that you'd be interested in a group that loves the opening moves 1. f3 and 2. Kf2??
The Wandering King, or Barnes Hammerschlag is a crazy opening for people who love inovative thinking and new ideas. We play Team Matches and Vote Chess, all with the Wandering King initial moves. And a Wandering King Thematic Tournament will be starting soon!!

Kf2??

If I remember correctly, the opening was known as the Drunken King Opening or the Tumbleweed. Whatever the correct name is, in any case it is a poor opening.

This is a very strong opening in the Bongcloud chess variant in which the objective is to be the first to get your king to your opponent's back-rank:

It's just a bit of fun. Of course, it's an extremely bad opening, and you're likely to get mated pretty quickly. But it's good fun.

I don't think it's that bad. I can draw easily in that opening against somebody 1500 USCF or lower. At the upper levels, they might actually beat you.
Well, it's not exactly ideal! Are you considering joining?

Someone at my club played it against me last night. Needless to say, retribution was swift and brutal.
LOL!
I'm sure you appreciate it, then!! Fancy joining?!?
interesting why do you have to get your king out of its saftey zone? Its already safe!
A man can't stay cooped up like that all day, especially a regal one like the King. He'll get cabin fever. There's nothing wrong with a little stroll now and then and when better than when the entire army is in position to mobilize?

Shame on you OG write out 100 times
Innovative has a double "n".

I hate that thing. Some guy in a 5-minute game on ICC once beat me with it. :(
What an inovative new way to spel it!
