Well... you are either completely dumb, or you pretend being such pretty succesfully.
As I have previously explained, after 1.e4 f5? 2.ef5 Kf7? 3.Bc4+ Black can resign, already (two pawns down for less than nothing).
Houdini evaluation: +2.35, which hints at an, errr, small white advantage. Get it now, or not?
By sound, I mean can be played with success against any strength of player. An unsound opening can be exploited by a strong player to his or her insurmountable advantage.
In order to suggest that the opening is unsound, therefore, you need to be able to show where white could make a move that would "automatically" result in some insurmountable advantage. Neither Chessmaster nor Rybka, who on a fast computer are better players than you or I (or any other living person on earth) could find one. Indeed, I was able to draw Rybka at three different points, and asked Chessmaster for help only at 23 Nxg4 (it saw the sacrifice), which put the opening over the top and secured the win.
So, I ask you, where was the opening unsound? Where could white have done better? I was recently trounced by this opening, and must admit, I don't see a good defense against it. Playing it against the computer as white, I can't win from 5. Nf6. Black has too many ways to chase the queen around the board to ever recapture momentum. This is a very fast opening for black with lots of ways to keep the game under control.
Don't feed this troll
Crazy stuff
Never knew Freddie played chess,let alone had an opening to his name..Well,what do you know...
3. Bc4+ is much better than 3. Qh5 because it leads to a positional advantage. 3. Qh5 is dangerous for the white queen.
There are much better ways to respond to 1. e4:
1... e5, but you don't like it, so:
1... c5 this is the Sicilian defense. A very, very, very good reply to 1. e4.
1... e6 and 1... c6 are also good replies. Here's why 1... f5 sucks:
I've actually had a win with the Mao Tse Tung attack. Possibly because it was a 3-minute game for each player. Time was crucial, and in the end, my opponent lost time, even though Anon. could have won. This opening sucks, however, in blitz games it can be very fun to play.
Normally I don't have to worry about 1. e4 f5 because no one ever played it against me. I have, however, played it myself, and I almost always win with it, not because it's good (it's actually horrible), but because White makes plenty of mistakes.
Making the worst move on the board to get out of opening theory is a really bad attitude to bs d when playing chess. Most people who play crap like this don't understand why they play it, but instead play it because their opponent probably hasn't seen it. Honestly if someone played that against me in any tournament game I would feel disrespected!
Here's another win by me:
The king's gambit and the Latvian gambit are great, but the Fred defense/Duras gambit isn't so good, possible due to the fact that Black has not pushed a center pawn.
Off topic but the Latvian Gambit is also bad... not this bad, but pretty bad.
The Latvian gambit is not too hard to refute on the board in a longer time control game
This isn't an opening. It's an instant L.
The Latvian gambit can draw, and it's actually not a gambit because Black will be able to get the pawn back either way.
