Whenever I play a normal opening, I get a crushing advantage in the opening and early middlegame. Because the positions are critical and I'm terrible at calculation I end up giving up my advantage and getting into a losing or drawn endgame.
It's much easier to play f6 kf7 and grind my way up, since I will only gain the slight advantage in the late middlegame or endgame. I do not have enough time to blunder that way and my winrate therefore gets higher.

As orthodox christians... we play only orthodox openings.

Tradition rules.

I'd like to imagine that about one hundred and fifty years ago, Fyodor Dostoyevsky had the same thought

I like throwing out the wayward queen against titled players, i think most people try every opening under the sun against them, I try to throw them a curve ;-) I also have no problem taking their kings bishop pawn forcing their king to take at the start of the game, go down fighting or farting, I know which I prefer.

Avatar of PILOTOXOMXD

im obviously joking, but in order to get a good job in Europe during the Medieval ages and the Rennaissance, (actually spelled it right lets gooo), you needed to know how to play a good game of chess

and it leaked into the 20th century as well
