parham attack

Sort:

so 6. d3, by that I meant, not trying to look from another perspective, I looked at d3 and thought it to slow for the goal(early attack, which needs a center)

Lol how? The Government is full of socialists... And for the game I'd probably get something like d3 going.

Not that I have a horse in this race, but you honestly don't see the parallels between what you call socialism, and recommending everyone cripple their chess progress by immersing themselves in mediocre, antipositional openings that will cause everyone to stagnate at the same level, and for the same reasons?


that is what I was going for, you were just more elloquent

The_Gavinator

I didn't demand anyone to do anything, I just was telling you haters that the Parham is a viable opening, just because it doesn't follow your opening "rules", doesn't mean it's bad.

The_Gavinator

Yeah but I like aggressiveness, and I also don't like giving up material, I feel the Parham is one of the few openings that does that, if you have any other's I'd be glad to try them

The_Gavinator

Not necessarily, some openings develop into a more aggressive position than others.

The_Gavinator

Yes, you can play aggressively in a passive opening or passively in an aggressive opening, but there are passive and aggressive openings. Take the ruy lopez v the danish gambit.

Ben_Dubuque

there is no such thing as a passive KG, even the declined is agressive, and the parham is agressive to the point of stupidity, its like one guy walks out claiming he can do a lot of damage, but when he finaly goes to the karate tournoment, he gets the crap kicked out of him.

The_Gavinator

jetfigher, stop acting like the kg is the best thing in the world. I've looked through all of your games, there's like two where you even play it. The KG is just a fail. I know fischer played it, but fischer could win with anything, he just liked to prove how good he was.

Ben_Dubuque

I have played it a lot more than that, its just most of the games are beyond what either of us can find

The_Gavinator

Well 2 out of like your last 50 or so games still is hardly at all.

Ben_Dubuque

thats how often my opponents play 1... e5, to that I only reply 2. f4

also why did you decline my challange, I wanted to give you a chance to prove that the KG is easy to stop

The_Gavinator

Cuz I don't want to lose to rybka and then you tell me the kg is unstoppable.

Ben_Dubuque

I don't have an engine genius. too strict with where I spend my money, I am a basic member, and since you looked at my games, that means that obviously I don't use an engine

The_Gavinator

there's free engines... And you'd use it against me I'm sure to show how "good" the kg is

Ben_Dubuque

no that is completely dishonest and would get me kicked off the site

The_Gavinator

but there'd be no proof..

Ben_Dubuque

yes there would, my play would be about 1000+ rating points better because of it, would deffinately look out of place in a 1300s bin of games

The_Gavinator

no you'd be all like "King's Gambit is just 2 good DOOD!!!"

Ben_Dubuque

no I would play the way I play, the KG, plus ever consider that I would never cheat because it is just plain uncool. lets take this on ok, you just don't want to play me.

The_Gavinator

lol I know how people like you operate, I'm gonna get rybka'd and look like a dummy for losing to you, so I'm just staying away from that path... Good day to you.
