Engine evals are inflated as hell lately. no move by White should give a 0.8 edge to black period. Some of the main lines Basman played where as high as -0.55 in blacks favor or so, which i think makes sense. (no worse than a secondary black defense, thats not too terrible).
Wtf grob?!

what about 1.Na3
1.na3 is borderline legit with stuff like 1.na3 e5 2.nc4 or 1.na3 d5 2.c4 or, if nothing else, play it like a KIA, and relocate via na3-c4-d2. It's no good, but it does no permanent damage to your position besides maybe some tempo loss. nh3 is worse than na3.

nobody asked you to actually do that
Can you please stop modifying my comments in quotes
Anybody that modifies quotes needs to be PERMANENTLY BANNED from posting forums.
When writing, it is illegal to claim someone said something they did not say.
If I say "Carrots are great", you can quote that Thrillerfan said "Carrots are great". If you say:
Thrillerfan said "Broccoli is great", you have just broken the law.
I am bitter about people that misquote me. You misquote me and truly hope that you suffer physical harm! Some clown in early May 2018 modified a quote of mine from something fully appropriate to complete slander and some moron admin muted me without even looking for the original message (which was message 20 and the misquoted message was message 21, on the next page!) It took a full week and a third party person that both knows me and knows the chief admin (whom I also know, but I was wrongfully muted) to clear up the issue. I was given 3 free months and the one that misquoted me was permanently banned, so just keep that in mind if you are going to misquote Pawnstormer or myself, you risk permanent ban!
I, by the way, now report all people that misquote me! Does not require inappropriate remarks to get reported by me. After that May 2018 incident, I will report anybody that modifies a quote by me. If you post anything that says "Thrillerfan Said", it better damn well be 100% exact what I said!
You have been warned!

g4? God tier move, sorry only the largest of minds can come to understand it, it stands on mount olympus with the bongcloud, the grob, King crab and Ke2
