why can´t I get opponents like that?

I mean your opponent

Back in high school there was a joker at our club who played that, as black! However his last name was Khan so we called it The March of the Khan!

There must be some refutation to this?! I don't know what it is, but there must.

A great game of chess - all done without the aid of an opening book.

OK a few tactical flaws but it entertained you and it looks like
it entertained us. It did me anyway.

I like the way the pawns tip-toed forward.

Call it. 'The Creeping Death Attack.'

Van't Kruijs opening

how many of these openings will we see in the next few weeks/months... you may have started a trend on here!

You mark my words.
Someone (who isn't currently playing a game with it) is using Fritz to analyse it as we speak.

I had an unbooked chess friend who used to play 1.e4 e6 2.d4 Qh4 all the time.

Another of my friends, who had played 3.Nc3 hundreds of times played 3.Nd2! against him.

I said "Fritz?". He said "yeah".

And they say computers aren't killing chess.

ha ha I see you are talking about one of my games 🙂

gg adam - i started playing chess after i read 'bobby fischer goes to war' when i was bored on jury duty earlier in year and led me to read round subject a bit. Your game reminded me of the story about nigel short playing fischer online

particularly,

"Short said his adversary's style of play was intriguing.

My unseen opponent began with some highly irregular, if not totally absurd, opening moves - shifting all his pawns forward by one square. These were moves that no Grandmaster would ever play."

Game 5673601
Game 5673608

Adram and I are playing one a side, no comments since its an ongoing game. But in case anyone wanted to watch it 😛

But would any 1800+ would lke to play a game showing us a full refutation we would be appreciative.

The attack just seems really spikey.

This may be a naive question, but was there some reason why you didn't take whites queen with your rook at move 21?
