I always get a kick out of you posting your crushing games against specially picked opponents and then claiming you are
X and X with such and such opening.
Always makes my day.
You better start playing 1.f3 followed by 2.Kf2 against everything black throws at you. I have a feeling you will have better results with it. It's a solid solid opening.

You aren't winning those games because of your opening choice. You are simply better then them.
So do you play 1.g4 in your rated OTB games?

As for the Grob I played 1. g4 against a Cosham player graded BCF190 (2200) in the league and against a BCF185 (2150) player in the Portsmouth Congress scoring a loss and a win. I also pleyed a Rapidplay (30 minutes) game against a player graded 2000 and won.

Originally posted by KorchI doubt there would even be a refutation of the Borg (1. e4 g5) or any other Black response to 1.e4 [well, perhaps 1...f5]. (I don't think anybody is willing to expend the energy required to even search for a refutation and I would expect that such a search would be fruitless.)
Returning to the topic - can somebody show refutations of Grob and Kings gambit?
Doesn't matter if a line is unsound if your opponent can't refute it over the board!

I'm fortunate enough to have a great club in my city 🙂

Can you post those games?
At least you learn from Rhp and use in your OTB games 🙂

If you had a club in your city and it was afforable wouldn't you rather play in person then online?
I prefer in person. Much funner and you can hang out with other people and chat.
How about the NHL and NBA playoffs, eh?
