That is perfectly fine, but when all someone plays is 1.e4 2.Qf3 or 1.e4 2.f4 or even 1.e4 2.d4 ???
Originally posted by RBHILLI think the Christian thing to do is to say sorry to vorgod for calling him out completely in the wrong.
Christians aren't perfect just forgiven. I believe that's a lie that Satan uses, is to think that Christians should have to be perfect. And another lie he uses is I need to get my life perfect before I can follow God.
Originally posted by SwissGambitIf you play Qf3 after 1.e4 e5 on 365chess.com it show 57% for black and 37.6% for white.
No they don't. It's not a good move, but it's not losing.
Originally posted by RBHILLI don't think Paul was saying you had to be perfect. If I may, I believe he was suggesting a statement like that was unbecoming of someone who appears to be Christian, and I would agree with Paul's statement. Also, we are called to be imitators of Christ which is the process of sanctification. You need to revisit sanctification 101.

Originally posted by King TigerApparently he is going to be forgiven. Those with a narrow opening repertoire however will suffer an eternity of playing the black side of the Ruy Lopez against Satan.
Per this thread-you owe your opponent an apology. He is entitled to play within his time controls regardless of the position. The only one who showed bad etiquette here is yourself.
Originally posted by RBHILLPercentages don't tell you a move is losing. Say there are 100 games in which black does very well in an opening. However, someone comes up with a novelty that gives white the better position. So all the masters stop playing that opening as Black. The stats in the database remain overwhelmingly positive for black, even though the correct evaluation of the line is favorable for white.
If you play Qf3 after 1.e4 e5 on 365chess.com it show 57% for black and 37.6% for white.

Under masters games it only has 3 matches of Qh5 non for Qf3.
Originally posted by RBHILLWhy are you looking at databases?
I wouldn't because Chess databases have that at a losing position.
