Yes, 1.f3 is disconcerting to players under 1600. It is also an interesting way of discovering why pawn moves are considered only an aid to development and not development as achieved with piece moves.
1.f3
Sort:
I just played it accidentally in blitz and won vs. a 1900-ish player. I intended to play 1. Nf3 and instead started the game behind the 8 ball.
this is an interesting opening who want to get out of book fast.lol and even 1...f6 vs any first move even nf3!!! so i won a few and lost a few to stupid time blunders and even bamboozed a cou[ple lower players in daily match play.
