From this point of view I am ok since I don't know openings

I feel insulted if my opponent plays almost anything other than 1.e4 e5 as black or anything other than 1.e4 as white; because if you don't play classical 1.e4 I automatically assume you are a clown, and a craven one at that.

The Sicilian is boring to me because SO many people at my level play it and it sucks when I, a scotch gambit player, expect e5 and then EVERY TIME they play c5... just annoys the hell out of me

Pirc it's so disgusting

We honor the Scotch Gambit and its family line.

A Mighty Fortress is the Scotch,

A Bulwark never failing...

The Ruy Lopez opening is by far the WORST opening to get hit by

DO NOT PLAY THE GROB OPENING OR THE VANT KRUGIS OPENING. THEY ARE SO STUPID!

Englund gambit.

I don’t enjoy playing against fringe openings so much - but mostly because of my laziness with some openings. I’m talking modern, pirc etc. As black and a tactical player, I prefer facing e4 generally than d4 c4 or nf3, but I do have some fun when I can get people to accept certain gambits…

1.Double Grob: Coca-Cola Gambit, first, what the hell is that name, the name is too silly. Secondly, what does this opening do, you just lose 1 point adventage after playing this.

2.Wrong Cloud and Bong Cloud, WHAT DOES THIS OPENING DO, the king still need to go back, you just waste 4 moves by this opening.

3.Fool's mate, TWO MOVE CHECKMATE! Okay, it's the shortest checkmate, but why?

4.Modern Defence Gambit, too useless, never played, uncontrolled, nothing GOOD.

5.French Defense, what the quack is this, what does it give you an adventage, how do your get out your bishops...

I understand that this is supposed to be a joke, but where is the joke?

The ICBM and the Englund Gambit

Avatar of Elijahroy12
One way to avoid the ICBM is to not play the Scandinavian Defense

As someone who premoves the London System in bullet chess, it sucks when they play the Englund Gambit against me and win my bishop in 2 moves

This is why I don't premove my bullet openings
