Q+A for beginners(and everyone else)

Please.

What's a more solid home for the king? Three front pawns on the same rank or a fianchetto bishop with a pawn in front of it?

Don't mean to be sexist, but the only difference I noticed in the playing style of male as opposed to female players in tournaments is that the female players are really aggressive. I really do mean that as the highest compliment. In fact, a female player rated 949 managed to keep me on the ropes struggling to find a way out of mate for most of the middle game (I'm 1400 USCF). Another time I would have won the tournament but lost one game to this one girl, who went completely undefeated against 8 different male competitors (including myself). She beat me by playing the notoriously aggressive Danish Gambit, and from the very first five moves my fight for an equal game turned into a fight not to get mated as she somehow piled all of her pieces onto my king without giving me a chance to defend because every move was a threat of some kind. I believe the legendary Kasparov himself fell victim to Judit Polgar's aggressive attack at some point. I have not played too many female opponents in tournaments I must admit but the few I did play left me with something to remember.

None taken man. I know how lucky I was to win that.

Well you could do me but it might screw the study coz i've only just started playing. And make millions of blunders but less all the time. And very aggressive I think, like I will pounce if things are just lying around. And then get too excited if I seem to be winning and move too fast and lose my best pieces. Check out my current daily game against @RedBladder but it's playing itself really isn't it - but I don't know any openings so it doesn't get good til he forks me and moves me into tactics.

I was going to buy a Silman book but i decided we would go on holiday instead i mean you've got to do it when you can don't you. 42$ - books are probably hella expensive in NZ but I know it's a great book. Someone should rent me one.

Kg7

@Little_Tractor be serious

There is no good move. You get checkmated

As an avid e4 e5 player, I recommend avoiding ANY sacrifice on f7 by your opponent at ALL costs. This includes playing e6 on your first move rather then e5. Also the moment you get a pawn drop place it on f6 for strong protection against knights that might try to sacrifice on f7 from e5 and g5. If you choose to castle, build a pawn barrier around your king. And if for any reason despite all this you still end up having a minor piece sacrificed to you on f7, make sure to tell your opponent not to lose any knights. Even a single knight and your position is completely ruined, two knights and there is often a checkmate right around the corner. f7 is by far the most vulnerable target in bughouse for inexperienced (and often even experienced) players. Defend it at all costs and try to sacrifice on your opponent's f2 square if you can.

Oh....that. I'm not too happy about that actually. As the most powerful villain in the galaxy, I would hate to see Darth Sidious get humiliated by the pathetic new characters and their dumb Mary Sue powers. If he is indeed alive, that would be an insane insult to the Skywalker legecy, as it would mean both Luke and Vader failed to kill him but the horrendously written Mary Sue manages to do it. It would also mean Anakin wasn't actually the chosen one as he didn't bring balance to the force and the Sith were alive this whole time. This would not only distort important details, but ultimately ruin the entire saga, which makes me think the movie could be almost as bad as the Last Jedi disaster piece. On a side note, if Darth Sidious could face Rey and Kylo at the same time, it should not even be a fight. The battle should look like Luke vs Sidious in Episode VI if you imagine Vader wasn't there. This is why I don't consider the Sequels cannon. Darth Sidious was a true legend throughout the Prequels, Clone Wars, and the Original Trilogy, and to me a legend he will always remain.

xD

I need to see an interview of Destroyer discussing this with whoever is in charge of the franchise / story lines now... I would actually pay to see this.

Thanks, you flatter me. I would love to talk to them or have any influence on the story, but nowadays after Rian Johnson screwed up big time they dismiss fan criticism as "the Star Wars toxic fanbase".
