I ranked all 20 responses to e4 for black

Sort:
Sea_TurtIe

if you are an agressive player who wants to complicate/sharpen the game quickly i recommend playing Nc3 agianst f5 (very sharp, fun games)

Sicilian is in the top 2 responses to e4 FACT, as determined by all the top GMs and engines FACT.

Then some 1300 rated or 900 rated player comes along and says bs like it's refuted and unplayable. Yes, that's hardcore trolling.

You refuted the Ruy Lopez? (I missd the last 20 pages so if you did I'm curious how.)

Yes definitely refuted

Yes, we should crown scrumptious the top GM because he refuted all known theory by top GMs and engines.

Who are you talking to? Also, that’s really aggressive for somebody who hasn’t given an opinion on the topic yet.

He may be talking to the OP, to Bricks, or to you, we’re not sure of the context

nonetheless he is incredibly hypocritical regardless of the situation

@TheSampson

I assumed it was me because I'm not above 1600 and he commented right after me.

No one said it's unplayable. I even admitted that refuted was the wrong word for me to use. Just because Bricks and I disagree with you about the Sicilian doesn't mean it's not our real opinion. If I was trolling I would have put ut in the bottom half (like I even considered doing).

Even if you were above 1600 you shouldn' have to use that as a proof.

rating does not matter on chess.com for the people who do not play it seriously. chess.com is a joke of a site putting everything behind a paywall and having a trash moderation/cheat detection system

First of all, what are you paying for? The analysis works, forums work, and you can play games, what else do you need? Second of all, the mods are actually pretty good, and I find I actually don’t ever lose to cheaters that don’t get banned effective immediately

This is kind of irrelevant, but is there a way to set it that I play higher rated players instead of similar rated ones?

Yeah set up a custom game and set it to +200 -0. You’ll always have to play people close to your rating but at least with those parameters it’s slightly better

go to custom and set the rating range to 0< and infinite>

Thank you. How do you get to customs?

Go to the Play page and there’s a little custom tab

Ethan_Brollier

In the Play page it’s literally right below the Play button

Thank you.
