I think Von Bardelben got a fairly playable position against Korch....but got outplayed in the middlegame. Got hammered in the first game though.

But he`s openings ( 1.h4 1.a4 1.g4 1.f3 and the same with black) are definetly not the best for white and simply nonsense for black.
Also he`s statement "Opening doesnt matter" are real nonsense (at least against more or less qualified players).
Originally posted by KorchThe key word was "fairly." Not losing outright, with some chances if you blew it. With a 500ish difference in rating, he probably didn't do worse with that stuff than if he played book.

Originally posted by wargamer66After such bad opening he could hope only for blunder to avoid losing. Its not easy to imagine how he could get such stategical hopeless position after whites 4rd move in other more solid openings.

Originally posted by KorchRight, and since you are 500 points higher, he probably needs a blunder to win anyway.

I dont see the point to all this. I think most of us know moving rook pawns in the opening isn't great.
