I once considered playing it - a Dutch Defense up a tempo.
I'm checkmating him on move 20, he's 40 points up in rating, it's His opening, and he even played a gambit against me... - The Williams Gambit, it seems. plus, I played it with a reversed board [that's why I missed mate in 2 - it makes your game worse, but it's more interesting - to see it from His side]
Options:
1. I'm a world-class genius.
2. This opening Sucks.

What do you think folks?
All I know against The Bird is to play d4 c4, and follow normal opening moves - look at my moves - so simple - provoking his pawns to move - then entering with my pieces - rocket-science? Lego is more like it. You can always say he had a rough day. You can hardly say he's new to the opening - how come he knows the Williams Gambit then?

People are confused "What opening should I choose": Simple - If you play against it and mostly you win, or if you play With it and mostly you lose / draw - don't play it.
If you don't play it, but when people play it against you then you lose or are confused - Do play it! - That's your opening! That's why I chose the French, and before it, the Sicilian Kan/Pin vars. - I was clueless against them..
