These players tend to have the following characteristics in common:
-They never accept rematches (I can't tell, but I think the user I linked blocked me immediately after we played, even though all we did was play) -They play an extraordinary number of games (hundreds per day) -They have an extremely high rating and win an astounding percentage of their games
What's up? Clearly giving away your queen is not a logical opening. Are these 2000+ level players who do it for kicks? Are these cheaters who have the computer take over after move 3? Is this actually a good opening to use because your opponent is stunned into inaction by the idiocy of it? I would be intersted in hearing thoughts
It's not that hard to beat. I wouldn't even mind very much if they switched on the engine after giving up their queen (okay only for a 2|0 or slower game)
I don't think I've lost to this yet.
Edit: They probably don't accept rematches because there strategy no longer has shock value.
I'm interested in a certain subset of bullet players who open the game by giving away their queen (taking the f-pawn). Here is an example:
