Have you read his next comment? I don't think that counts as "very kind" xD
I don’t think he’s taking about me, I think he’s talking about those who still haven’t gotten onboard with the Alapin
This is interesting
im dying after watching the last comments lol

I don’t particularly like these 2. Nf6 lines against the Alapin. They lead to a much more boring game than all of blacks other responses

By the way how would you explain your results against 1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 ? You scored roughly half-half against this line, but you claim that 2... Nf6 is winning for white.

Just because I’m a moron who frequently blunders winning positions in the 2. Nf6 line doesn’t change the fact that it’s winning

Let someone beat Carlsen, Caruana, Aronian, etc. consistently with the Alapin, then we'll talk

I posted games of both Carlsen and Kasparov being destroyed against the Alapin
"consistently"

This guy is kidding, it would be stupid to say that the highest scoring opening for black is busted.
The Sicilian only scores well against non-Alapin responses. I score 70% using my Alapin as do most other Alapin practitioners

The alapin makes no sense to be honest mate i have a quite strongly worded comment aganist this but well, you wont stop with that
I’ve noticed a massive increase in the number of people playing the Alapin. Clearly our hard work and brilliant analysis here is paying off.
I’m not playing Grand Prix anymore
