Fred defense: The most garbage opening to ever exist in chess
The thumbnail is garbage, and I know it. One of my friend @colorfulcake(check his blog out btw) told me to use GIMP to edit the thumbnail. But I just don't know how to use it. So, yeah. That's all. Now enjoy the blog.
The Fred defense is a the opening which is actually played by grandmaster. I know that nearly all of you haven't heard of the Fred defense(probably). And that's why I am here, once again to show you how garbage(trash if you are American) an opening can be.
This Fred defense is only +4.4 for white, fantastic. If you are playing against Stockfish, you will probably(definitely) lose. Against me? I won't lose. Against yourself? 50 percent chance to win and lose. The Fred defense is pure garbage(trash). But still, it is playable.
The Fred gambit is made by GM Aman Hambleton. And it goes like this:
This is the Fred gambit. You walk your king to the death row and then pray to survive. The position is only +4 after 5. gxh7. At least not mate, I guess(I guess). But could you believe that GM Aman Hambleton actually won over an another GM with this opening? I don't want to believe it, but its true. Look at the video below.
I don't know what to say. I don't know what the point of this opening is, I don't even know why this opening exist! But it does....
Quick review: You are welcome to play the Fred defense if you want to know how to lose at chess.
