The Alapin moves a Pawn instead of a piece, preempts the best square that the b1-Knight had available, makes the c1-Bishop less valuable, and weakens d3 and the light squares generally.
This guy busted this stupid post on comment 5 and it's still going LOL
And I refuted his analysis on comment 6

You refuted nothing at all in this whole thread. And if you think that you refuted the highest scoring response to e4 you are stupid.
This thread is full of dozens of games where I analyzed specific lines, and presented common ideas, traps and tactics found in the Alapin. This thread is by far the most informative discussion of the Alapin on chess.com
Almost all top GMs play open sicilian which means that is the best. Anti-sicilian is best at club level although from time to time in also appears at master level.
Deep blue destroyed Kasparov with the Alapin. The strongest chess engines choose and have great success with the Alapin and they are much stronger than GM’s
Deep Blue can destroy anyone with any opening against Sicilian. Computers win the game not in the opening but in middle and endgame therefore the choice of opening is irrelavent due to computers superiority over humans in middle and endgame.
Nope. False. Kasparov destroyed Deep Blue in their 1996 match. The only game Deep Blue managed to win was when it played the Alapin. Try again
... I score 70 % against the Sicilian, so yes I have busted it
Would a person score 100% with knowledge of how to force a win?
... Deep blue destroyed Kasparov with the Alapin. ...
Is there any reason to suppose that either of them played perfectly?

I checked his profile and he is probably cheating so trust me doesn't have a 70% win ratio neither he busted it.

Engines don't go for the Alapin, they go for the open Sicilian. You are wrong again.

Yes, but i play very fast time controls so I blunder sometimes, so I only score 70%

I also have about 60-70% score vs Sicilian with my grand prix against approx. 1600 otb opposition. So I also think I busted it.
What’s the Grand Prix is that where you play an early f4?
That also seems like a good response. Go after black on his undeveloped kingside. It’s probably inaccurate though because it gives black drawing chances.
Perhaps the grand prix is a forced win as well. I don’t know since I don’t play it. I’ll defer to your expertise on the line
so you try to refute something playing blitz and bullet, yeah 3 minutes non increment are the rules of thumb 4 the theory, so i will win a bullet game with e4? a5!!as black and say it refutes e4 cause e4 fails to occupie the Queen side

Has been played by me for almost a year consistently now. With enourmous successes.

JoseCarlos I don’t blame you for being skeptical. I do ask that you keep an open mind though.
I looked at your games and I see you really struggle against the Sicilian Defense, as black scores almost 50% against you with it. My recommendation to you would be to take up the Alapin and learn from the games, analysis, and tips I have posted in this thread so that way you can start scoring well against the Sicilian too!
