Originally posted by Ian68 Not long after I'd joined a chess club I was playing a few friendly games with a slightly higher rated player. In one game he opened 1.g4 grinning smugly and said, "You don't know what that is, do you?". I shrugged my shoulders, said "No, but it looks crap.", and beat him emphatically inside 20 moves.
Originally posted by Dragon Fire There are loads of other "sound" openings but the Grob is fun!
Yes, and how many of those sound openings have you played seriously? Personally, I have so many that I haven't experimented with that there is no reason to take up the unsound ones just yet (not being masters, what does that really mean?)....
Originally posted by HomerJSimpson Im pretty sure I'll win this tournament, Im 12-0-0 with + against the grob, here's a little sample of what I have in store for Dragon Fire
Please don't take offence, but but of those games were lost by basic tactical errors by your opponents. You'll need to post better games or wait till the Grob tourney starts to prove your point.
