Lets try to get an alien gambit against Gothamchess in his Gothamchess vs World event. Theres a high chance he will play the caro-kann so pls either vote for Nc3 or Nd2 if he does. Thanks >:3

The Alien Gambit is pretty interesting, even though I have not used it yet!

It's going to be entertaining, and for your information, I know how to play alien gambit, I play it every time if black plays the Caro-Kann

Most of us are already 1000 points lower than him, so you want to have the game lost within the opening

Ehh, I guess you r right

most good moves to counter alien gambit are really robotic so unless you really spend a lot of time looking at the board and finding possible escape routes, or studying how to counter the alien gambit, it can work a lot. Theres a chance Gotham knows the stockfish lines since he has done a video on alien gambit so it might not be a good option. I'm still gonna go with it, people r be gonna using stockfish anyway, whats the point

We do not see it but titled players spent hours a day studying so very likely he knows how to counter alien gambit. In magnus vs world game, there were many inaccuracies and mistakes made by world that shows that most people play honestly

No way. I am pretty sure he knows how to play it. If you check that opening with an engine, it is -2 for Black, so we are already losing. But do you even know how to play the Alien Gambit, or you just want to take on f7, and "we'll see".

I think the same
