In my experience, at this level, the opening doesn't decide the game, a blunder does.

h5 might be bad at a high level, but at our level, it isn't.

even at our level, black is just handing us two free moves on a silver platter...

Not that i'm suggesting a crazy opening or anything.

Are you insinuating we are low level players? I resent that accusation! 😛

Not as good as 1. ... g5.

So far my results with this are

P5 W5 D0 L0

A stunning response for black.

Resistance is futile.

Try beating me with the Borg Defense. You'll have to make the challenge because my rating isn't at 1600 yet. Let me just clear out one of my games first.

And I'm actually thinking of trying 1...g5 next...or maybe a reverse Hammerschlag. 1...f6 followed by Kf7!
