Yeah that one reminded me of grade school... 1st grade to be more precise. I say if you're going to declare that "the last one is a rotten egg", you should have an actual rotten egg to throw at the head of the loser.

Can't risk being a rotten egg if you don't even post there ;)

Or where some guy posted a huge forum about his amazing discovery (1. e4 b6!!) which has NEEVVEER been played before ;)

I smashed it at the club.  1.d4,b6?! is black's way of saying, "I'm quite proficient in the Owen's Defense or Queen's Indian, take your pick".  So I played 2.e4 and went on to win three pawns up in the pawn ending.

Yeah, Owen's Defense is garbage. Agreed.

Here's the referenced game, all annotations from Fritz:


It was quite entertaining so just thought I'd post it.

Cute. Whenever I see Owen's Defense, I always play 3. Bd3 in the faint hope black will try 3. ...f5?. Also, Bd3 is the better move (vs Nc3 or Nd2). Nicely done.

I wonder how long it takes until there is a forum for every response to e4. Maybe it's already done. 

Avatar of TheGreatOogieBoogie

Probably.  I even saw a 1...Na6 thread there before (hint: 2.d4 is better than 2.Bxa6 because you seize the center instead of trading your best minor piece for an awkward rim knight.  The doubled pawns aren't worth it even if they are a-pawns)

I remember that Na6 thread. The interesting thing was that it was made by a 2300,lol

Check out another recently done forum, what piece would you replace the king with it?

how about the 1000 signs you play chess too much forum.

Avatar of clunney

I love the forums posted by like 800 rated guys claiming their opponents are cheating with engines. Too funny :p.

Also the ones where a 900 is winning and accidentally stalemates his opponent, and then makes a forum post demanding that the stalemates rules be changed. Also funny!

Avatar of EDB123

i know, but it is very popular so far. The problem is not a lot of ridiculous ones are popular.
