Opening Hot Takes

yup

there is no trick it's just losing

It avoids scotch gambit and other stuff

whoever knows how to pronounce that needs a medal

lol. Nobody dares to play Sicilian against me. I mean in my class.

No. The Bobby Fischer f4 or somewhat.

What are the moves? I would play the beef eater variation myself

d4 g6 c4 Bg7 Nc3 c5 d5 Bxc3+ bxc3 f5

Just play the scotch and win my dudes

   nxe5 actually isnt that bad, i think it was the lolli variation, engine evalauates the line from around +0.1 to +0.5 ish

Ok. You don't know how to interpret centipawn readings do you? +.6 cp means white is just better. Not slightly, not extremely, just people will prefer white. Same for -.6, which is just better for black. .5 means that White is somewhat better, and is noticeable in some way. Also, engines are terrible ways of interpreting variations. Engines should be used to create a repertoire, but should not be used as substitutes to actual games. A human will logically lose this, and if you gave it to any 2600 or weaker 2700 (under 2730) and they're responses were directly "converted" into cp, it would be about +1.2, in which case White is undoubtedly better at least. My point is, the engine analysis shows a perfect defense for Black, and is already at +.5. Imagine what a human would be up against

anything under +1 is called a "slight advantage"

No. Engines consider +\- .65 or greater winning for that side. +\- 1.8 is that side wins

If you dont play Nxd4 then d6 is also playable

WTF??? d6 is trash... d6 is my favorite thing to see on the board. It's rated 72% on Chessbase. Here's how to win if d6

Tell me White is not completely better here

White is completely better here.

Well, Bg5 is also a good move when Bd2 was played, but Be7 gives back a tempo. If f6, Black is lost

lol then why did u say Tell me White is not completely better here

I meant to @IHaveTHECoronaVirus

Reverse Tesla Defense -- Shockingly effective.
