lol, it could be good as a pet weapon in blitz/bullet. However, in a normal game, it's just not a great way to play in my opinion.

I will play 2.c4 or 2. Nc3. I don't play d4 that much so...

EnergeticHay

Although the staunton gambit looks cool

@SNUDOO you've got lots of questions for me lol

When I try for a colle and they play e6 Nf3 f5, I now cannot play the Staunton. So I have to settle for the fianchetto attack... But I score well with it so I'm not complaining lol

1.f4 e5

take or go to KG?
