Why play the bird's opening?

I'd rather go into a from's.

Dear Ukrainedude:
The idea of the bird opening for white is:
1 Deny black use of e5;
2 white plants his knight on e5 as part of his king side attack;
3 If black exchanges off the e5 knight (& white can’t replace it with his other knight or dark square bishop) then re-taking on e5 (with the f-pawn) cramps black’s kingside & opens for white the f file to get more pieces into the king side attack, including rook lifts to f3, g3 or h3; sometimes even f6.
4. White should fianchetto his dark square bishop so it bears down on e5, f6 & especially g7. I won hundreds of games bc of the power of this bishop.
5. White basically aims to play a good form of the classical Dutch defense up a tempo. The Bird is playable against both king’s Indian defense d6 set-ups & e6/d5 set ups though the former requires special attention to move order & knowledge of tactical motifs.
6 White ends up with an extra pawn &/or a better game against popular antidote for black - the From Gambit, if white plays correctly.
7 the opening is offbeat & tactical; often white wins quickly.
8. The main drawback is its limited scope - if black plays the best lines correctly it’s hard for white to mix it up & just one misstep & black may grab too much space etc.
Hope that summary helps!

nah I win more with white

Because he don't played against a specialist like me.

Better take some sleep dude.

hi

 

There are several reasons why Henry played the Bird. 

 

Courage.

Originality.

Creativity.

He was the founding father of this interesting weapon. 

This man played against Morphy, Anderssen and Steinitz.I agree he lost a lot of games against these giants. But this three players yeah.......

But when you have courage,Creativity and originality. 

Three reasons....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chess players are like parrots. When the big MC take a switch everybody will play the Bird.

Yawn. Bird's opening is rubbish. Or certainly inferior. Same as Grob. And h4. Because moving one of the kings 3 pawn defence, on the opening move... is a rather silly idea? And showing some ancient Morphy game don't change that. Of course, dumb opening can still win... but still dumb. Exception proving the rule.

well you don't see too many GMs playing Grob's!

Grob is a patzers fave, too. Like Bird, but more dumb.

The Bird Will never die don't talk about Grob.Respect man respect.When you are gone Birdie is still hanging around.

whattttt

1. f3??

Transposes into the dangerous KING's GAMBIT!

I made the pieces weird on purpose

Your design is ugly.
