yeah 960 is shorter though sometimes I call it Fischer Random... it just depends on who I am talking to
Defences to the Parham Attack

No you actually said that the Parham gives black an edge. Nice job lying though.

Yes, but I never said black was winning. Where did I lie, might I ask?

no he didn't if you read carefully he was refering to right before Rxb3?? loosing the game. where he did have all of the chances in the position had he played the correct Bb2! defending all threats. and giving him an easy road to victory.
anyway. he never did lie about where he was talking about you only read what you want to read which is why you claim Naka said the parham is good. he only claimed it was playable, a long way from being good. which is why you will only interpret this post to mean that I am trolling and that I am a complete Nincompoop who will try to spoonfeed his orthodoxy into your heinous obtruse heretical teachings.
if you understand any of the last part, thank a teacher, if you (as an American) can read it in English, Thank a soldier,
what is the parham?
e4 e5 Qh5. A very good opening that is overlooked by ignorant people.
Or...a not very good opening that is looked upon but ignored by enlightened people.
Not especially, creative types such as Nakamura have actually played it and said it is perfectly fine.
Yeah...but guys like him can whoop butt regardless of the opening.
BTW...for fun, I sometimes like to open with one rook pawn and then the other. This works quite well against most people I play. Though, I wouldn't want to try it against Nakamura! Then again, anything I played against him would be futile.

Actually, 23...f5! is correct. 23... Bb2 still gives white some compensation for the pawn, and he might even gain the material back. After f5! gxf5 Rxb3 white can simply resign.
If only players dedicated this kind of energy to decend openings...
I do. I actually spend more time on decent openings, I've been learning the najdorf for a few months, mainly out of books and databases. I also got a video on the catalan and some books on the grunfeld. The only engine I even own is an old free version of rybka, because I don't cheat! I still want an apology, YERESLOV.

Sorry.
Play 1)...g6 and what's next for the Parmahammy? Diaster awaits it. 
The "best opening" is the one you know, and your opponent doesn't. You have lots of choices. It's largely a matter of taste.
If you play reversed black systems with the white pieces, you save yourself immense amounts of study time.
Under USCF 2000, you are probably wasting you time with a "pinheaded" focus on openings. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Knock yourselves out.

Nf6 is arguably more sound on move 1
Only if you are prepared to play the Alekhine, or 20 other systems white might choose. Good luck with that idea, Brainiac.
Well if 1...g6 is played, then white can just do d4 and have a nice center control the entire game.
If 1...Nf6 is played, white can chase black's knight around while he develops a strong center.

yes but that center is often overextended and I know from expierience. some of my favorite games are where I destroyed my oppoenents Broad center and came crashing into thier exposed camp.
CS thinks it's equal. I have no problem with that. However, shepi and jetfighter think black is winning, which is just flat out wrong.
I never said black is winning against 2. Qh5. I said that in the system with h6 and g5 black is winning. Congratulations on taking my comments out of context. All that I was stating is that white has to continue Bxf6 if he played Bg5, which gives black at least a slight edge.
