Fred Defense
Sort:
Black sacrifices one or to pawns for a manual castle, but this does give White a better position and material ahead. (But White should play carefully to avoid big material loss.)

This doesn't seem very nice to me. All black now has are minor pieces protecting the king. And minor pieces should be used, not sitting back on guard detail.
yuck.
I would definitely play as White because I would have advantage. : )
If I play Black I could win as long he makes a mistake, most people unfamiliar would make some mistakes and I would win as Black.

The "terrorist attack" is easily defended against, once it is recognised for what it is.

This is a game I played against this opening. I am still very much a learner, so excuse the rough and readiness of the general gameplay, but I hope it is still instructive.

Apologies if I got it wrong, but I was referring specifically to the post by young_roy123, who was speaking about the power of the opening. On that basis, I adjudged Black's opening response to E4 to be irrelevant.
huh?I cant understand well

The white side of this is the "Tumbleweed gambit" 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Kf2 Qh4+ 4. g3 fxg3+ 5. Kg2 etc.
Its not as bad as you'd think (assuming you only play it for fun): white's only developed piece is a queen thats just waiting to be chased around, black has many open lines, a possible mobile center, and better development. Then there's the reason why I try it at times: white instinctively gets the feeling that he must mate black due to his open king (but will sometimes just waste clock time thinking or go for flawed cheapos), but its actually quite difficult without other pieces.

Fred's dead, Baby. Fred's dead.
Beginners can play them, but I don't like to play it.

Maybe we should call that opening "The Boungcloud Defense"
What about "Fred's Boungcloud Defense"?
I don't play any defense that gives away all the king pawns in the first few moves and corners the king. The Fred is easily crushed by the Mao Tse Tung Attack.
