I thought that this game was going the Caro-Kann route, until...

2. ... f6?

Can anyone check this game (still in progress) and explain black's reasoning? The eventual outcome is, I think, obvious, but is there a precedent for 2. ... f6? What would black hope to achieve? Also, the way that ALL the pawns come out before a single piece has been moved looks a trifle strange. Any thoughts, chaps?

Leave this sort of thing until after the game has finished, avoid discussing games in progress.

Sorry. I'm new to this site, and didn't know the form. Thanks for the heads-up.

No discussion, but it's simple - he's a patzer.

He actually played 1...d6, so it should go into a Pirc.

Now it's finished, I'd have to agree with buffalobill - don't try and read anything into the moves, he isn't.

I think it's called idiot's opening.
