As we all know we are facing magnus carlsen in a game of votechess starting April 4. It would be really embarrassing for all the 15000+ members fighting against him if we loose. So we need a good strategy and a clear cut plan to at least put up a good fight.
Please put your suggestions and plans to do it in the comments section below let's go.

There is no opening, this is chess960 ! The back rank pieces are shuffled !

Well I see a lot of people suggesting f6/f5 to get the queen and bishop space but that will entirely depend on Magnus' move
Im thinking we commit a pawn, f6 or f5 then develop knights and castle what do you guys think

Literally why would we, or anyone, do that ? Most the kids are going to use stockfish because they want to beat Magnus, not lose to him ! The problem is cheating.

It's the internet, half of them will pick horrible moves other half will use stockfish

Most guys will pick horrible moves, but only because they are bad at chess.
Engine users will be less than 1%, and destructive trolls will be less than 1%.

I feel like the odds are more for cheaters and trolls cause they have increased substantially recently

So 99% of moves will be bad
