The f5 Opening

Let's play

:)

I win a lot in bullet with this...

Anyone want to try this OTB?

OTB? No. In a live blitz game? If I'm feeling adventurous that day :)

Is back

i dont think this thread will ever die

I asked Hikaru if he would use this as black in blitz or bullet... Let's see what he says...

This doesn't work

What is black's move after 9. Qxh8

Yup, I should publish this ;)

yep

I presume you mean 9...Nf6 because everything else auto loses to Qg8+ and h8=Q, but I still don't see your point. As long as White avoids 9. d4?? Bb4+ he is just up a lot of material and has threats.

I see. Black must play h5 as a counter-move instead

So, has anyone played this opening yet?

...

post #224, doesn't white eventually lose its queen?

you mean, like Nf6?

falcogrine, something like that...

Another win with this opening for black:
