Originally posted by StocktonThey aren't my sound openings, but they are more sound anyway. I'm not saying the polish is bad, I'm just saying I think there are easier ways to win.
yea, but it gets people outta book early. gets people to play chess with me, not a memorization contest. (which i'd probably win anyways cause my memory is great, but i dont like to play that way) I also play the Grunfeld, so i do play your "sound" openings too.
Originally posted by StocktonHe obviously didn't know fundamentals. People like that need to read up a bit. Obviously he should take the center with move two.
it doesn't really matter anyways. but seriously, i love the polish. its a lot of fun. i played it in a game 30 against someone who had obviously never seen it before. he took 4 minutes for his next move. he was down to less than 4 minutes on his clock by move 13

Originally posted by StocktonI think you mean he knows a lot of opening lines, clearly he does not know openings well at all, if he doesn't know that the first thing to do is attempt to control the center.
yea. he gets in time trouble a lot and i knew that about him. but he does know his openings pretty well. so i just got him outta book early, move 2.
BTW, that's move one. 😉

Originally posted by cmsMasteryea, that is what i meant. i played him again and the second time i played the grunfeld against him, but i played an uncommon line and he ran into time trouble again. strange that somehow he is rated over 1600 USCF
