So you two are arguing against a lot of masters who made those books? Play @pfren or @JustARandomPatzer to prove the Alapin!

Are you insisting arguing with the idiot for some specific reason?

I’m curious as to what percentage of Pfren’s posts on this thread are to call me an idiot. I’d say at least 80%

That means the other 20% are way too kind to you.

Here’s my most recent 1 minute no increment game. Black foolishly tried the Sicilian and as always white’s superior development and center control led to an unstoppable attack on the black king.

BULLET????????

Play 10 min blitz or 5 min blitz! Bullet is not real chess anyways!

Bullet is chess!

You can see how you can win in 4 moves!!

Oh, wait, time stamp showed that I beat an opponent in 1 second!!

I think it is the fastest ever game available in any type of game.

Depends on how you trained!

Here is another game I played today,

Analysis showed that I had only 1 inaccuracy in bullet, which is good!

Depends on positon, if it is simple and straight forward, 1 min bullet is more than enough to play a very good game.

If that game is too short, here is a longer game,

I mean, in bullet, good players can play good game, but there is a high chance of blunders though.

3 inaccurancies, whole game!

Attention chess.com members something truly alarming has been brought to my attention and I need your help in understanding it.

As we all know, Semyon Alapin is without a doubt the greatest opening theoretician of all time. This is a man who was able to refute the Sicilian over a century before I was able to vindicate his idea with a formal proof showing the Alapin defeats the Sicilian by force.

So when I look at the other opening that bears his name.

1. e4 e5

2. Ne2

I can’t help but be confused. What does this Ne2 move accomplish? Why would someone as brilliant as Semyon Alapin endorse such a counterintuitive move? Unfortunately I’m not smart enough to answer this question myself, so I must pose this question to the chess.com community as a whole, and see if we can figure out what brilliant unorthodox logic must be behind this move.

Evidence?

I have never seen people playing less than 15 secs or 10+1 seconds.

Are you chessboy or big talk boy?

2. c3 is just a move, probably a little harmless theoretically as black has multiple options which come close to objective equality, but it's just a game, and there's nothing wrong with someone who plays it. Someone else on this site, I think it was Alex Richter maybe, made the point that after 1. e4 c5, 2. c3 is funny in the sense that it more-or-less cancels out the idea of black's previous move and reinstates the exact same threat which existed after white's previous move. This isn't to argue that there's anything special about the c3 Sicilian...

And if there's a true advantage for white vs the Sicilian it lies in the Open Sicilians or the Bb5 sidelines, where of course the real debates are had

Interesting, but mostly inaccurate.

I said it in the original post and I’ll say it again here. The move c5 violates every opening principle. It fails to develop a piece, fails to put a pawn in the center and fails to open a bishop for development. Now the only reason anyone ever played c5 is that in order for white to open the position up and take advantage of his superior development and center control he must trade his d pawn for blacks c pawn. This small amount of compensation is enough for black to hold. By playing 2.c3!!! White does not allow this exchange, . Black then has no answer to white’s superior development and center control, which will ultimately decide the game.

so does c3. What does c3 do? block a knights natral square, fails to get a piece into the center and such. You are arguing for what you you arguing against.

"1.e4 c5 2.c3 … is designed to control the centre by playing d2-d4 next. … However, … [2.c3] neglects development. Also, after [2...Nf6], White is forced to abandon control of the d5-square, which is already a strategic success for the second player. …" - GM Vassilios Kotronias (2015)
