I play on here for fun only some people do I play soundly. In other words on here I try unsound lines and very unsound sacs. if you want to play it can be unrate then bring it on. I have max games right now but am about to finish one.

Much better.
I was a non-playing non-subscriber before.
Actually, 0-0-0 is not a bad handle.
and we are agreed . I can beat User 256028 in the KGA as both black and white so my opinions count for more than his and I say black takes the pawn and holds it if he wants to give white maximum hassle. White replies on move 3 Nf3 or Bc4 (nothing else).
Black keeps that f file closed. White attempts to open it up , sacrificing more if necessary.
Settled! Good!
Alternative move for black on move 2 is d5 rather than eXf. Comments?
Originally posted by Dragon FireCould you explain this a bit more?

Why isn't is viable choice?
Tell us the variation you are thinking of. As long as it is not one of your current games I will gladly look at it and suggest viable continuations.
Be7 is not a viable continuation for black after either Nf3 or Bc4.
Originally posted by thesonofsaulIt IS a viable choice. My point was that black could hold that pawn and get a fair game. There are a few good Defenses for black vs. the KGA Knights opening, ex. 3...g5 3...d6 and 3...Be7 are all strong.
