Did I ever say that? I said draws are boring, and wins are better.

For those who think that this is wrong, it is no more so than a thematic tournament in which all participants must play a certain opening/defense.

Very sensible approach.

For those who are terrified of gambits. Learn how to play one, and you'll like it. Don't pound on fun openings because you aren't good enough to play it, or beat it

1265 rated player tells 1600+ rated player that he's not good enough to play his feeble gambits. ROFLMAO.

Just because you're not good enough to play and/or beat gambits, doesn't mean you should attack them.

Na5 just blunders another pawn. Bb5+ c6 dxc6 and White just gains a pawn. Wut???? U peepel need bter ideeuas

I hope you're kidding...

If you aren't, I'll have you know that the position after bxc6 is better for black.

I don't play gambits because they don't fit my style, but that doesn't make them bad. I just don't play gambits.

I don't like slow boring games, bcuz I end up losing the maneuvering battle. I don't make a stupid forum trying to get people to stop playing that against me, do I?

Also the idea of 'pumping up your rating with draws' is laughable given that you only get a point or two at most for a draw.

This post so obviously started as a rage after getting beaten by one gambit opening too many.

I only agree with this about the stupid “sac your bishop on f2 or f7 in bullet” gambit

Are we discussing this in the abstract or otherwise? In bullet of to a lesser extent blitz, the sac on "KB2" is a time gainer.
