 Only if your second move is g4.

ha ha I've never seen that one before.  Unfortunately on chess.com, there are no takebacks (that I can see), and so sometimes my opponent or I will move our king to some silly square when we in fact wanted to castle.  It's pretty obvious.

In FICS, you can takeback. How does one do it here?

 I remember great video by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili where he shows even worse move.

If he could have given it 8 question marks, he would have, and could have given reason for every one..."this is absolutely...move...from...the horror show"

Another disaster went 1. e4, d5; 2. exd5, Qxd5; White intended to play the routine 3. Nc3 but accidentally played 3. Bc3 (illegal) and was forced to retract and play a King move instead (the laws have changed since then). So it finished 3. Ke2, Qe4#.

Good enough for Fischer at least once - against Smyslov, too! - and good enough for Lasker in a famous game, so not as bad as all that.

How about this move 1. resigns? Isn't that the absolute worst move?

1 P-Q4?

I beleive there is a term for this, involving a German word that means "accidental mslip" of something like that, meaning the only time anybody would ever do that normally is when they naccidently touch it without a j'adoube, forcing them to make the only legal move for the king.

Also, here's Scholar's and Copycat's:

This isn't bad at all: the second most common first move (1.d4), with a better win/lose/draw rate for White than 1.e4 (1.P-K4). Judging by your rating, this isn't your point: so why did you put this down?

Doesn't get much worse... 


That was the funniest 'attempt' at chess ever.
Is it sad that it made my day?

Probably...

Avatar of GatheredDust

I found a solid refutation of 1. e4!! See and believe!

This is astounding. This is revolutionary! This will change the chess world... forever.

Better start studying that Queen's Gambit!
