Fs, f4s, f5s & f7s for Old Timey Fredthebear Fun
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

Slapdash, lettuce and some tabasco sauce, on wheat toast, dry. Hold the pickle! Wait a minute!? Tabasco sauce wasn't invented yet back then, at least not commercially. Let's go with mustard instead, and some sliced peppers and black olives!

Thank you Fischer of Men for providing so many of the Morphy games. Yeah, FTB got carried away, but what the hey. Also, thank you to KingG.

Bird's Opening, From Gambit lines:
1.f4 e5!? 2.fxe5 d6 3.exd6 Bxd6 4.Nf3 g5 (or 4...Nf6) with two main lines... - 5.g3 g4 6.Nh4 Ne7 7.d4 Ng6 8.NxNg6 hxNg6 9.Qd3 Nc6 10.c3 Bf5 - 5.d4 g4 6.Ne5 BxNe5 7.dxBe5 QxQd1+ 8.KxQd1 Nc6 9.Nc3 Bc6 Both lead to positions with chances for both players. White can avoid this by countering with 2.e4, transposing into the King's Gambit.

delete fredthebear: This was a truly low blow FSR. It was completely off course and unnecessary: <<May-07-23 FSR: <perfidious> I love how Carrie Isaac's fellow Republicans (I assume) crowd around trying to coach her. Watching Carrie attempt to formulate a coherent thought, I almost wonder if <fredthebear> has gotten a sex change and become a Texas representative. It's startling to see a member of the Texas legislature essentially saying that people have the right to own guns so they can shoot any cops who show up at their door (a/k/a "defend themselves from a tyrannical government"). Has that been codified into law? I know Texans have a right to "stand their ground." Do they also have a statutory right to shoot agents of a government they consider tyrannical? Or is that just implicit in the Second Amendment?

perfidious: <FSR>, the ignorance in that clip is staggering; maybe <fredthestalker> has gone trans.>>

FTB is a Libertarian and made no comments about Isaac or Texas. It's well-known that perfidious has been a long-time stalker despite consistent complaints to CGs.

This is not like you FSR. Please don't be fooled by the constant mischaracterizations of FTB. Certain posters deliberately lie and repeat the lie to paint a crooked picture, and they dishonestly do so every day. It's no coincidence that the post was addressed to perfidious. You're way above that level, aren't you?

I'll let you remove the post promptly and we'll drop the matter.
