thats weird
Odd occurrence in online chess
Sort:
Probaby just caught them trying out a new opening. I highly doubt any sort of communication glitch would have happened to span this far and this elaborately, per se.
I wouldn't worry if I were you; rather, just use this as an opertunity to not make a mistake on the second game ;)
yeah something weird happend to me too, i play chess pretty long on patzer level and when i came here something odd happened. Someone played the benime or denim or something like that defense against me, I never saw it before. Which is weird i never ever encountered that opening before.
Evenn weird i hallucinated a cheapo with a double attack in the opening and strangely enough i made correct book moves with it.

The games are going on simultaneously, as it is online chess. 1 is on move 7, the other on move 5. Please do not comment on the games themselves, but the odds of this happening purely by chance are staggering.
i agree they are indeed.
Perhaps the second guy first checked out your ongoing games to learn about the openings you play, and then liked the idea?
Or, more likely: last month, Everyman published the book "The Dark Knight system: A repertoire with 1...Nc6". Perhaps it'll be a bit more fashionable than it was for a while.

Or maybe there was a player like you who plays the Nc6 opening. He did beat a guy, which wanted to try out ¨the new opening which did beat him¨. Alot of players on same day does that, and within a few days, Nc6 is common. Then white wins a game, and players think: Nc6 is bad. End of story.
1: e4 e5 2: Nf3 Nc6
1: e4 Nc6 2: Nf3 e5

but isnt nc6 just the nimzovich?
Okay, I have played e4 exclusively for years. Never once have I had anyone play Nc6 in response.
Today I start an online game and I get Nc6. Okay, it is an opening. I get to about move 6 and I start another game.
As fate would have it, I get White again against a different person. I play e4. They play Nc6. "Bizarre," I think. Through 4 moves Black plays the exact same was as the first game.
Coincidence? The second player's game explorer shows they never played this opening before against anyone.
Thoughts?
