Well done the Hard Core Pawn Stars for sponsoring the Bird's Opening tournament.
However, looking at the early wins for black, I wonder how many variants of fool's mate there are in this opening... and whether the tournie will catch all of them 😉
Game 289092
After black plays 3...g5, the only move for white is 4.d4, the game is over when white plays anything else...
Here is a game between me and Feivel where you can see how it should be played:
Game 244413
Any comments are welcome!
