A General Chess Discussion Thread?

I play this:

This.

I might try this, but it doesn't look so good.

Not to my knowledge

I play what is called the Tal variation apparently. It's the one with 4. h4, and I am learning it currently. Not to advertise but this is a great vidéo about it I almost figured in it too lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lTq9b0lwBB4

But pls don't go tell my opponents cause that's my current prep for caro kann players 🤫

But 2. Ke2 is of course the best response

So it's just Mr Burns then, well tries to snatch candy at any rate.

Up to you I don't really care when it starts

Also, I made a change with the Adkins Attack. This is the Adkins Attack now:

Nah just keep it the same, that can be a variation or something since you have already really advertised the adkins as nc6 instead of e6. E6 seems less common too, but really it’s your choice.

Interesting… why h4? Also I genuinely considered finding a bongcloud response to every e4 opening they play as black.

It's agressive and wants to play e6 at some point. It is explained in the video

Cheese black belt?

Yes, what do you want?

Nono what have you done! I just realized that’s you!

My win rate is higher with it and it usually leads to the same positions anyways, but yeah because my win rate is higher it makes it more profitable, or maybe I should just call it the Pseudo Adkins Attack

There is an imposter among us

Akdins attack

CheeseAdkinsAttack

Atkins Attack

After 1...c6 I would usually play KG or 2.Nf3. 2.Nc3 occasionally

If the game went 2.d4 d5 I think I would push e pawn.
