Defences to the Parham Attack

Aw hell.  I give up.  Don't none of you fools know when to jump out of the boat you been fished into.

Ok, i think i invited just about everyone to my group so we can talk about it their...

Everyone accept my invitation and talk about it in the group forum and dont talk trash and mess up the whole thread again please

Alright, Alright.....

IMO more important is learning the best play against perfect black defence in the Scandinavian lines.

Parham's rating is 2000. I go to the same tournaments he does.

He was being sarcastic.

I can't believe how many people take his posts seriously. I know you're young to be fair.

  Touche'

Bruce, he was talkin about f4 for something else. In your fail line just do 3. Qxe5

That didn't come from the Parham attack though, it needs 1...e5.

Well it's only a Parham attack if it comes after 1...e5, so you actually just failed...

But yeah it does really.

Anyways, I'd like to get back to the main point, what do you guys think of the board that joeydvivre posted? It's in the OP, I think white is left with a better position, how do you all feel?

Didn't Parham himself play 1.e4 c5 2.Qh5

The 2.Qh5 idea defies all accepted rules of opening play, but when Parham sat down to play strong Master Boris Men (2571 USCF), the game went 1.e4 d5!? 2.e5 c5 3.Qh5 g6 4.Qh4. Men had earlier seen Parham demolish Jim Spalding in 19 moves (after 1.e4 c5 2.Qh5). Men avoided Parham's preparation, but the game ended in a hard-fought 52-move draw. In fact, Parham states that 3.Qh5 drew a 20-minute think from Men.

Oh, wait, You're Parham, I forgot.

No- no. Joey and IM are all communists.

They don't think like I do.

I know, I, Bernard Parham, played it against everything, but the PARHAM ATTACK, is defined by: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5

? Have you seen my profile?

Look at me! I'm John Nunn! I recommend 2...g5!
