END your 1.d4/London/closed game/positional woes forever with 1.d4 e5!? 2.dxe5 d6 3.exd6 Bxd6!

I loved this🥳😊

just doing homework, looking back at all my games and plugging them into my theory tree when I stumbled on THIS HUGEMUNGOUS upset in a line I was playing. WHOEVER yamabhishek 1391 is, he not only made ayman0101 2195 clock out in a 5 minute blitz, but was HOLDING ADVANTAGE most of the middle & end game!

If the pawns are "so SOUND" then why are they called "QUIET games"?

...and yes, I despise positional concepts because I just don't get them. pawns are the most surefire way to beat me.... GUILTY!

great thing there's OPEN TACTICAL options like THIS that let me use MY SKILLSET instead of getting PTSD raging against pawns TRYING to play "sound" openings and failing miserably.

in my world "sound" (y'all overuse that word when good gambits hold up to 8% advantages 1600-2000!) equals there's ANOTHER ratings sponge where i never get to use tactics and trip over my own shoelaces whilst smothering in a straightjacket. NO THANKS!

you do you, and I'll do me, happy as a pig in a nice CLEAN air conditioned space far from where it needs to go to the bathroom (pigs aren't HAPPY in the muck, they die if they DON'T wallow because they don't have sweat glands) playing this line and kicking so much butt MY WAY. if you can't take the tactics, go home and book the eff up!

you're not getting your quiet little pawn pusher groove on HERE, TODAY

had anyone that knew gambits listened to my pleas to just "get rid of my center pawns gambit" joke and told me about this, i might not have quit playing over a decade ago wallowing in closed/positional "hockey sticks" EVERY cursed black game I played with the toothless marshall scandinavian and marshmallow wall

Sounds like you are quite the Eric rosen!
I dont grasp the concept of positional chess all that well, But i can improve pieces and hereby see no problem in stuff like the ruy lopez... But the stonewall??? Dont come near a 10 mile radius of me if you play the stonewall......

yes, I hate the toothless stonewall straight jacket! that's my point playing this line, BTW, for me, the simple pawn push is infuriating in the sorry charlie, but when that DOES happen, I need to study it a bit, or just PLAY some chess

it was a mostly infuriating game, a good showcase maybe of why I hate position based problem solving... even when I eventually win a long torturous game like that. 2...c6 looks even MORE annoying after 3.d6! further cramping with no way for 3...Bxd6 to happen any time soon

I am proud to be 82% accurate in this game REGARDLESS. my accuracy is really good in most of my charlick games... hovering around 85%. that's HUGE, and I would argue against gambit haters that THEY're wrong about gambits holding me back, when they set me free to play chess the way I understand it. that my accuracy has nearly doubled proves me right. the only thing to do now, is keep pushing that accuracy up. that's IMPOSSIBLE because there's some positions I can't solve with 20 "you can do better!" tries.

matching openings to skillsets is the only correct way to do it in my world. my opponent here did a very good job of negating ALL of my 0-0-0 plans with 1 simple move and hobbled the daylights out of my mobility, almost like he remembered watching me implode in another bad slav-wall. seems like stauntons are REALLY getting popular lately too

doing some homework.

this will be my antidote for the advance variation... VERY simple and transpositional... the same kind of ideas that 2200 cabbie who turned me on to the stonewall when i was winging it with the colle pyramid taught me. i see one line even looks like a reversed colle here, so it's kind of like coming back home there, only I'm a way better player than 20 years ago

trying to stay ahead of my opponents theoretically and punish them for their mistakes... like advancing the pawn. I hate the positions that this forces, but it's better to play closed SOME of the time in a rare sideline that constantly.

I won't get caught flatfooted by the advance next time. i should have this theory memorized quickly today

Maybe its worth to play d5 at this point?
Here is how dynamic and exciting it can be:

And the stonewall is not too great tbh. Masters database says its a... QUESTIONABLE opening...

What about 1.d6 move order?

back in the day, I used to score really well with the stonewal, often beating higher rated opponents and crushing ANYONE stupid enough to 0-0-0, but nowadays, everyone plays Nd2 and a lot of other newer lines. that's why I hate playing it... it was never my style to begin with, but easy to play as a 1400.

I won't play 1...d5 because I DESPISE fianchettos and the albin is less sound. I'm loving what i'm playing RIGHT NOW so much I think I found a life partner, even if it catches on and everyone starts playing stronger lines. y'all just have no clue just how much the open e&d files with rapid development and a nice tactical "tool kit" make me ecstatic. I KNEW this line was perfect for me BEFORE i started kicking way above average butt with it. it speaks MY LANGUAGE.

UGH! stonewall

MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!

I've won 1 out of 4 1.d3s. i hate such hypermodern vileness with every fiber of my being

pawn pushing ragga fraggas!

You need positional stuff.
PERIOD.
Play the english opening.

You are 2800. You should know.

I'm happy with this opening, have improved my accuracy to mid 80s with it on AVERAGE, even winging it as here. are sad haters trolling because miniatures from lower rated players are their sad live's worst butthurt? all i need to do to boost my rating is ditch the garbage scandinavian and commit to rousseau.

I'm thinking learning top tier danish MIGHT do something to help me learn dreaded fianchetto techniques and improve on my 5% or so losing stats with trusted friend king's gambit. i'll take those losing stats with THAT any day, such is my love for muzios.

I've never been this happy as black except at the start of my scandinavian gambit days. eff "pavnov transfer". that's a couple moves past scandinavian gambit!

like I said, I'm a mastermind, not QUITE logigician, small j, and my "big ?#" results yielded 92% innovative. i don't live in fantasy bubbles, or project when TROLLING is exactly what a trump voter does and ignores facts that give them butthurt, like my STELLAR results so far playing thing manna from heaven FOR ME line. take those pawns! they're only IN MY WAY

that i'm destroying players left and right in this "blah blah blah whimper whimper whimper excuse excuse excuse" "UNSOUND" blunder even if you listen to stalefish line makes it that much more delicious to rub in the face of pathetic self hating trolls.

i'm having the time of my life, now go cuddle with your my little pony plush toy when you cry yourselves to sleep sucking your thumb because some gambiteer whalloped you in 17 today.

HAHAHAHA!

give it to me baby! give it to me! not the pawn... the SPACE! all closed game plans are CANCELLED and you're on my turf grabbing the bait fishy

92% accurate vs 1726

it's not ALL sunshine playing this gambit

and I didn't fare better with 2...Bb4

but I'm happy with a 78% accuracy, if not getting stuck in a dreadful pawn pusher endgame

What stonewall?

that homework paid off! I was able to get a huge advantage in my next advance game before I blundered out of pawn frustration

and you know where you can put that gatekeeping troll crap and rotate on it

I swear people are DEAF! a "positional advantage" is a HINDRANCE FOR ME! you need to speak positional to EXPLOIT positional!!! I speak TACTICAL. This is why I hate the scandinavian so much! there's nothing wrong with it if you want to push pawns 80 boring quiet moves, but I DON'T! if it's positional, I'm probably going to lose. good thing for me that's not the ONLY path to victory.

you can keep arguing and making all the excuses in the world haters, but I'm STILL destroying everyone 2 to 1 and having fun. oh that's gotta drive you nuts! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

and YES! I AM keeping score, a tally if you will... a 2:1 gik-tally (tal pun intended)

I didn't even have to PLAY this opening to fall in love. when I looked at that nice open center, first bishop out, and all the making stuff happen mobility with not FUGLY fianchettoed bishops, but a central pair aimed kingside, it just pushed my buttons AESTHETICALLY. over the board, if the gambit's accepted, I am TOTALLY IN THE ZONE. if opponents can't take me out, as they've done all those so miserable I quit playing over it stonewall years, NOW IT'S MY TURN TO PLAY MY GAME!

mothereff your pawn pushing mime with laryngitis positional closed useless crap openings! every chance I get, I'm making you play OUT IN THE OPEN against PIECES coming for your hide before you can hide

1.d4 is FIXED and you don't get a vote!
