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.

a5 might be better... then a4 trying to distract whites pieces away from the center

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

but we can't bite their heads off like fritz can for doing that... silver platter or not.
Not that i'm suggesting a crazy opening or anything.

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

Good idea...I think I'll try that. 🙂

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.

Not much better then you....

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

Isn't it just? I am amused to no end....first they take someone who suggests 1...h5 seriously O_o then challenge her to a game, and then they can't even beat her...hahaha!

Oh man, I love the people on this site...!
