The Douchebag Defense

Sort:
Dodger111

I've been playing this exclusively on 5 minute games for awhile and have had some suprisingly good luck with it. At the club we called it The Douchebag Defense because that's what the person you are playing thinks you are after move two.

As white, it's :

1. f3....any

2. King- f2

With black it's f6 then King f7.

After the opponent gets done laughing, they discover it's a very hard position to crack and they generally make mistakes because they assume they are playing a moron. In 5 minute chess it's difficult to go against because too much time is spent trying to figure it out. (Although I have been crushed quickly if I was careless...The Douchebag is a cruel mistress)

 

I don't know if this opening has a real name, but The Douchebag Defense seems appropriate.

Well thank you a crapload....

This is a forum about chess openings....

Challenge me and I'll use it, then say  "who cares" if I win..

By the way a 2100+ player used it against an IM in a tournament some years back and won. So why don't you say "who cares" to the loser of that game?

The openiung is terrible and stupid and wining with it has to do with tactics and blunders, yo ucannot win because of the opening, only in spite of it.

Yes...exactly...that's the point, it's a terrible opening yet it's much harder to beat than one would think....I thought I made that clear, I never said it was a good openning....why is everyone being so thick about it?

So who cares then if it's a crap opening?

Why do post about it?

Why do you privately messaging me the F-word saying to me?

You hardly understand my perspective.

Usually the arguments do'nt begin until around page 3 to 5.

Has anyone let Houdini have a good think for about 5 minutes after move 2 and see what the evaluation numbers say?

Looks like the newbies missed the Bongcloud debate some years ago.

Threebeast has accepted the challenge, the rest of you go play with yourselves.

Which idea? The opening or OP's last comment?

This was popular in Colorado in the mid-80's and was called the Fried Fox.

Lots of ninnies have played it.

What's really fun is when someone plays it thinking you're a beginner and you mop up the floor with them. The main hazard for White is slipping in all the blood and breaking your nose, but anyone dumb enough to play this crap is still DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.

I like your name better than Fried Fox, except you're wrong about one little detail. Your opponent doesn't 'think' you're a douchebag. He KNOWS you're a douchebag. If you've ever played this, yes, I'm sorry, you're a douchebag. If you're bragging about playing it repeatedly, you're a USED douchebag.

Its actually called the Hammersclag.  Stop making up stupid names for openings that already exsist.

No opening is difficult if one follows general opening theory.

Cover center, move knights out, cover bishops, castle when necessary. Not exactly genius level chess.
