1.f4 is known as the 'Bird opening' named after English player Henry Bird who was active in the late 19th century.

It’s my favorite opening.
It’s somewhat like the Dutch Defense.

Here’s a video about the Bird:

It's a perfectly reasonable opening.  Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise - unless they are stronger than Capablanca, Carlsen, Kramnik and Larsen.  They all used it.  Fischer even used it by transposition to beat Mecking.

It's Bird. There are Dutch, French, Sicilian and other Birds. tongue.pngwink.pngpeshka.png

Why do Birds suddenly appear?
