| Jul-15-10 | | Coolin: The problem with that logic is the sample size and quality of the samples. If you beat someone (as white) in the Ruy Lopez over a 60 move, slow moving game, you are less likely to show it off than you are a brilliant win in the Danish Gambit which involves sacrifice and attack. Furthermore, GMs don't use openings (generally) that involve something other than 2.Nf3, so at the highest level the openings are more or less untested. |

| Jul-15-10 | | MaxxLange: I finally got a chance to play the "Lolli" attack.
At the coffee shop thing last night, I was the only chess player who showed, and the only Go player who showed finally suggested that we play chess. In game 2, I had White: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5 Nxd5?! 6 d4! Be7? 7 Nxf7 this is supposed to be better than the "Fried Liver Attack", with an immediate 6 Nxf7. Recent theory shows Black doing better than expected, in the Fried Liver I got a winning position quickly, but the guy then defended well, and it took me a long time to mate him. I'm pretty sure I missed the strongest moves somewhere in there. |

| Aug-15-10 | | rapidcitychess: Opening of the day is Alapin attack.
<1.e4 e5 1.Ne2>
<MaxxLange> NM Dan Heisman has a ton of books dedicated to the Lolli.
He created the varition, 6...Nxd4 which is a complex piece sacrifice for strong iniative, and often leads to rook sacrifices, with unclear play for both sides. |

| Aug-16-10 | | rapidcitychess: <AlexMagnus><1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 4.Qf3 f5!? 5.exf5 Nd4 6.Qe4 d6. How is the line going on?> Seems a bit wild, and of course 4...f5 seems inferior to the natural 4...Nf6 but 6.Qd5 seems improves over this line, with the line 6...Qe7 and a good position for black though it is unclear to who the point may go to, though I think black has good practical chances. Black's development is certainly rapid. |

| Nov-16-10 | | rapidcitychess: What does everyone think of 1.e4 e5 2.d3?! d5 <Novelty.> 3.f4!? A friend and I analyzed this and found 3...dxe4 4.dxe4 Qxd1+ 5.Kxd1 a very intruiging line. If white plays passively, he will lose due to the weakness of his e pawn and of his king. But the king can be a fighter and go munch on the kingside pawns. Whaddaya think??? |

| Nov-17-10 | | Shams: Of course Eric Schiller knows the name. Well, <rapidcity>, if it has a name it's gotta be sound. What about 2...d5 thought? We'll call that my "Red Tide Defense". |
|
| Nov-17-10 | | rapidcitychess: <Shams>
Well, 1.h4 is called the Ware Opening, so it must be good. |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | rapidcitychess: <Eric>
The main difference there is big. In my line black can through in the ...dxe4 move and blow the center up. When I suggested 3.f4 I was thinking of the Philidor counter attack only without the knight. Do you have any opinions? Please? |

| | Eric Schiller: <rcc> 3.f4 dxe4 is probably best handled as a gambit with 4.Nc3 and if 4...exd3 then 5.fxe5!? |

| Apr-01-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Confess!
When did you give up 1.e4 e5 2. Qh5 (idea Bf1-c4, Qh5xf7 mate)? I played it alot and won that way as an 8 year old novice for some months (2...Ke7 3. Qxe5 amongst those games). I decided to play 2. Nf3 because I wanted games, not wins. |

 | | alexmagnus: <I decided to play 2. Nf3 because I wanted games, not wins.> Hehe. I actually still occasionally play 2. Qh5 (not to mate, just to leave theory) if I get on a longish losing streak. Especially in times when I was unrated it often irritated opponents enough to make them play worse than they usually do. Now that I have my 1600+ they know they are not playing a novice but some still take it too lightheartedly. But as I say, I play it only after losing some games. |

I know what you mean. My clubmate has simply lost his mojo. In our team matches, he scored a shocking .5/7 and has done badly elsewhere. I saw him play the Grob in some games. Why? I ask. I am just annoyed at my chess, he replied. Thankfully, he heeded my advice when I said that wouldn't do him any good either. |
|
| Apr-01-11 | | LDJ: <jbtigerwolf> Those percentages on this page are only about 1.e4 e5 games where White doesn't play a move that's in another ECO code, so if White plays an inferior move which doesn't have much theory and variations. That's why the winning percent for Black is so high. |
