Exploiting my brothers play...

Hello,

My brother and I play chess every now and again. I am usually White and he, obviously, is usually Black. We allways open with 1. e4, e5 2. (anything), d6. Basically, is there a 2nd and 3rd move I can make to exploit his setup?

I think you must mean "Exploiting my brother's play..."

I came in here expecting something else entirely.

Yes, I would definately change the title...

Anyways 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 should do fine.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 is best in my opinion. Exploiting the position will take some errors and imagination, but it is solid.

Wow! I am the most perverted person i know and i didn't think anything of the post. I figured this website was full of mature adults. But, i geuss everyone is just as perverted and childlike as I am. Thanks for the ballbusting guys, but thanks more to  PVKeeper10 and trysts. They actually had a worthwhile comment. Cheers!

ilikeflags, that has to legitimately be the creepiest comment I've ever seen on chess.com.

What is there to exploit? Philidor's Defense (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6) is a sound, albeit passive, opening.

As stated before, 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 does a good job of using your extra tempo to open up the game (opening lines for your Bishops and Queen and clearing the center of pawns so that you can rapidly put your pieces into play and attack the Black position) and taking advantage of Black's passive defense.

That being said, the Philidor is still a sound opening choice, and it will take more than a few opening moves to take it apart. You'll need to analyze full games in order to achieve anything meaningful.

Who cares? It was f***ing funny. Smile

EDIT: Come to think of it I probably should also feel bad for thinking it was funny...
