Why do they say "don't premove in the opening"?

I wonder... what could go wrong?

By the way, and in the same spirit, 5...e6 wouldn't of been such a bad idea either.

(I'm taking the advice here of someone who wrote that "wouldn't of" makes things easier when compared to the heavier and unnecessarily academic "wouldn't have". We'll see how the self-important "learned" crowd responds to that).

Lol. When I played 3/0 I got a couple modern defense opponents in a similar manner. 1.d4 g6 2.Bh6?? Bg7???? Hee hee!

<Erik42085> Right - but in your case you're really taking a risk - as maybe your opponent only premoves on move one - which is actually ok, especially if your first move is 1...g6. 

Here's another example of a variation that brings me many many many wins in blitz:

Thanks :-) 

What a JOKE indeed!! :-)

Avatar of Robert_New_Alekhine

Wow! I don't think I would have the plain audacity to play that.

5...e6 was also good, as you mentioned.

Having an arch-troll on such a thread is a well-deserved honor, I reckon!

Please solskytz.

Grammar is a thing

Or at least it used to be.

Also this forum is basically more evidence that blitz and bullet are not chess.

on post 10: don't worry man, I'm on your side. 

On post 11: I disagree - especially re. blitz. Many fine chess games are played in blitz. 

Avatar of solskytz

Absolutely!! :-)

Well, I don't consider chess games under 3 mins, and maybe even 5. But chess.com also considers 10  min games as blitz.

Just don't use of, for God's sake!?!?! Laughing

Nice one though. I sometimes get 1.b3 g6 2.Bb2 Nf6 3.Bxf6 Bg7 on the board in hyperbullet. :)

haha awesome!

<Kingofshedinjas> under 3 minutes - me neither, actually. Sometimes it's possible to play with two, but it's basically just nerves and nothing else (my experience). 

But I usually play three, and can get some chess into the game. 

<MSC157> yes - so it turns out that it doesn't "make things easier" as some people tell us...

I like the variation - the quickest way to get rid of all of the king side pieces...

<Jengaias> I think it's something like 10 seconds + 1 bonus, or 5 seconds + 1 bonus. 

Avatar of Robert_New_Alekhine

Possibly your opponent was disheartened after a bad loss of time. A 2000 should know better than to premove the first 10 moves in blitz. 

Avatar of ArgoNavis

Prove it.

Or disappear.

<Robert> I don't know... they sometimes do crazy things even though rated 2000...
