TIRED OF 1.d4 . PLAY ALBIN COUNTER GAMBIT

I admire your patience with hopeless cases, sir.

I like the Albin. As a newbie it seems to take people out of their comfort zone.

3.d4, 4.e3 is the trap eveyone should know

It's funny that you puny IM's and CM's think you would stand a chance and know more than me. I am the star pupil of Lyudmil Tsvetkov. It is so humoring to see such weak players compared to my great power by proposing they have more knowledge of the game. "I am over 2500 in FIDE" you may say, well I think FIDE is ludicrous. I would be rated over 100,000 if I were in that pitiful system. And yet you claim that by having a mere 2500 rating, you are better than me. Pleb.

Best to completely ignore the idiots.  The more you respond to them, the more encouraged they are to continue posting their nonsense.

ALBIN BLASTS ALL THE DEFENCES OF WHITE

I agree with Scotchgambit.  It's a good opening at the club level.   Some tactical games may ensue.  If you study it and learn the ins and outs you could use it as your regular defense against the Queen's Gambit at your club and in local tournaments.

they dont memorise. they analyse the opening and create new openings

yeh everyone not lost a single game with albin

The Albin is ok,  the main problem is that white can avoid it by varying move orders, so many people now do not start with d4 and c4    so you are forced to learn another defence too.

       Compare with the Grunfeld which can be played against nearly everything after 1.d4 or 1.c4

The topical move is 3...d4, not 3...Nc6, the black pawn on d4 is the whole idea of Albin.

I may have to try out your 3...Nc6 idea though. I disagree that the game is lost (or disadvantageous) even if allt he black pieces is at the back rank in the position shown. The queens have been traded off, and if black can manage to develop some initiative all may not be as "black" as it seems - for black. Much depends also on what you like to play, and I'd bet that enterprising players may be able to capitalize and gain equality even if they are at first glance at a seeming disadvantage on some points.

It seems to me that you are expressing your personal discomforts with Ablin there. Justly, Albin is playable, even if it's not objectively completely sound (which is in dispute). It holds surprise value, is enterprising in it's strategy as a countergambit to the queen's gambit and has been played by top ranked players, most notably I would say, Morozevich. And if you are not playing at the heighest echelons, you may find that it may give lower ranked players both some points and some experience at playing something other than the garden variety defenses. I used to play it a lot when I had played "seriously" for a few years, and I might revisit it today. In my opinion, the fear of the death of chess may not so much come from playing unhabitual stuff, as from playing always the same standard variations, that although they may have been tested through time, has a tendency to become tedious and boring and lead to complacency and non learning by those who always employ only "the best".

Better are the Dutch and the QGD. I played the Dutch over the board against an IM and had a real good position 20 moves in but blundered at move 21 and ended up losing in the end but if I played him again, I would go with the same opening.
