Proof that hypermodern openings are rubbish
Sort:
I don't really think this game tells us anything about 'hypermodern openings' in general. It shows us that white didn't play very well in this one case!
There's an important difference between hypermodern play and plain bad play. Rg1 isn't hypermodern, it's a bad move.
Proof? The only proof there is that the person playing white was rubbish.
Duh , guys it was meant to be a joke :D

there is nothing about hypermodern there, this was one of those ICC guys or kids that are always practicing how to premove whole games so they can later do it in shorter time controls games like 1 minute games, these ICC premover-masters try anything in the book to get ICC bullet rating points at the expense of the head of a friend of mine called chess

Do not joke with hypermodern openings!! plz
Dear Talfan, the game you illustrated has some element of "Hypermodernism" in the early stages. But then White carried it too far in the later stages. He blundered his way around and lost. But what is "HYPERMODERN " chess? The
"father" of hypermodern chess is Aaron Nimzowich! He advocated a different way of looking at "Centre-control" of the board. Whereas Siegbert Tarrash and his followers said that the centre must be controlled by the use of pawns, Nimzowich turned this premise "upside-down". He said ,"my way is to use pieces Not pawns to control the centre." He proved this in his games against Tarrasch and all the great masters of that time! Later Alekhine and others assimilated Nimzowich's principles and used it with some modifications. The Alekhine's Defence is a very good example of Hypermodernism! "CENTRE-CONTROL" is what the Openings are all about!
Hi friends, Do not belittle the kids from the ICC website. They are really good at blitz-games! Their "sight of the board' is fast, really fast. I played with them too, at 2 minutes , 3 minutes and 5 minutes games. My rating there is only slightly above 1500, sometimes going down to below 1480! These kind of games require quick "eyesight" and equally quick response too! Being able to play blitz game well is very useful when you run short of time in a tournament game!

I think maybe that's a moderation problem, not Starmute's kco.

why the moderation problem ?
Hard to say. Was Starmute's assessment of 1. f3 as garbage really a thread lockable offense? I certainly don't see it that way, and neither is resurrecting this or any other thread.

starmute was mainly talking about the use of "!'s" in a five years old thread. If he what to talk about the hypermodern or 1.f3, why not start his own thread about it ?
Don't try this at home
