This is street chess. 2.f5

Edit: if you're unfamiliar with the rules each piece can move one square off a regular move.

Edit 2: but captures and checks can only be done with regular moves.

2. Qxd1 check (you forgot to mention we can jump too! 😀 )

You can jump but ready the rule, no checks with the fancy moves 😛

1. Qxe8 game over. If you can jump just do it!

Lol 😀. In retrospect, I lost Trev.

You might be onto a new money making idea with this street chess. Get the rules pinned, and we can have a game... 😉

-m.

its not so bad i reckon, the only principle that it violates is one of maximum activity,
never the less, its argued that it actually controls more squares than 1.e4 as the e
pawn is unprotected and open to attack. My conclusion is that 1.d4 is for control
freaks.

I'm talking about facing it... have yet to find a reply i'm comfortable with. Going to try f5.

What have you tried against it so far? I'm currently using the Grunfeld, which I'm actually beginning to really enjoy. In the past I found the Benko Gambit to be quite solid, although I never could manage to get too much of an edge, perhaps I just didn't understand the resulting postions well enough. I also tried the KID for a while but found little success with it unfortunately.
