1. e4 e5 2. Ba6?

Either 2....bxa6 or 2....Nxa6 gives white a slight advantage

I will bet you $100 in a 10 game match, I get Black every game, every game begins 1.e4 e5 2.Ba6?? (The header is missing a ?)

And 2...Bxa6 is illegal, FOOL!  2...Nxa6 and 2...bxa6 are both WINNING FOR BLACK!

You won't win a Blitz game against Stockfish unleashed with that opening.  

(I mean with Black)

It's possible to win stockfish with the knight advantage. It's even quite easy for a strong GM.

My oh my, you still are quite the angry fellow?

Before I reply to your comments, I have some questions. Who are you? Are you someone important? Are you even someone special? I really don’t know, are you even someone of any consequence to the chess world at large? I only ask because there are lot of posts all over chess.com with you exploding at people, calling them “fools” and other terms. Maybe you are what the kids these days refer to as a “Troll”?

Who knows? Who cares? I just feel for you, being so angry your blood pressure must be horrific!

Now, on to chess!

Point 1. Your challenge. I thank you for your challenge but I do not indulge in “My balls are bigger than your balls” displays. They are so gauche and so last century.

I do think though it is somewhat concerning that you and others have taken my comments so seriously and maybe looking up the term “sarcasm” in a thing called a dictionary might lead you and others to having a much calmer time of day.

Point 2. Bxa6 being illegal. All I can say you must be a bundle laughs when you find a typo. Just why does that Youtube video of the German kid smashing his key board in a fit rage spring to mind? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4mztkndHk)

But just for you……

Have a nice day!

Uhm, there is no "anger".   But if you are going to say something that stupid, I expect you to put your money where your mouth is.  While I fluctuate between 2050 and 2150 over the board, there are 1200 players out there that will actually believe what you say, and so the Openings forum is not the place for sarcasim.

Therefore, you claim something idiotic, I expect you to put your money where your mouth is.  Claim something sane, like claiming that the Najdorf is sound, and I won't test you.  But claim something absurd and then back away from proving it and you sound just as stupid as Donald Trump!  Say something absurd and then not follow up!  Then, when someone calls you out on it, you try to pass the buck claiming they are angry or stupid or worthless or some other negative adjective that just makes you sound like even more of an idiot, or even more like Donald Trump!

Get your head out from where the sun doesn't shine and learn to say something intelligent for once!

brave I guess , I do like masters unafraid to sacrifice , but a Bishop on move two well that is very brave

I wonder when white gets the compensation ,

especially if black doesn't take with the pawn  but captures with the knight instead , bxa6 looks weaker to me as the b file becomes half open ,

Ahoy!

Thank you for your prompt reply, I honestly have not laughed so hard in all my life.

Do you even read through what you write?

The level of hubris and pomposity displayed throughout your rant is just astounding!

You “expect” that I have to prove myself to you? Who are you? Are you some one important? Are you anyone?....Oh wait….Whooa, déjà vu! Haven’t I already asked this?

If you were anyone of any consequence, importance and or prominence, I might be bother to indulge you but as I have already said my comments where sarcasm any such further conversation on it or with an angry and self-important little slug is, like yourself, pointless.

was thinking a " Chinese dragon " set up by black would flow from 2,,,,Knxa6 but ,1,,,e5 doesn't fit it at first glance

got me thinking though and I like thinking about chess openings , cheers op

perhaps an old benoni ,,, nah no d4 by white ,,,,yet

that's why I was looking at openings for black where kna6 is part of the overall strategy , hence the Chinese dragon , and old benoni references ,

both are good lines but as I spotted , the e5 pawn works against a dragon bishop ,at g7 , and white hasn't played d4 which the old benoni combats well , however d4 is a possibility by white and id look to making that the path white chooses if I was black , and play this like an old benoni with the added advantage of white lacking a important minor piece

of the two , old benoni ,,

1 d4 c5

2 dxc5 kna6

cool , any chance of looking at 2...knxa6 see how white gets on then ?
