Two examples which shows that such foolish responses on 1.e4 or 1.d4 as 1...a5 or 1...h5 are really hopeless against more or less qualified players.

Because you won only such weak (or weaker) players as you are.

Your about 300 points higher than him in rating. Your point is null. You're just being rude.

Those are good wins, but all they really tell me is that a bad opening can take you all the way to a narrow 1-point defeat by a player 500 points your superior.

His rank would probably go up if he stopped using the worst openings possible.

The OP made a valid point. Using these openings expose terrible weaknesses in your position right away, and good players will know how to exploit them.

That was I wanted to show. Because he can use sucessfully such openings against people with rating not higher than 1700.

Its not easy to make it in more polite manner against arrogant person, who shows his ignorance declaring (in very arrogant manner) that such openings are right ones and other openings "are boring".

Well... if losing without serious fight (like in these 2 games) seems for you more interesting, then its your choice of course 🙂
