don't you know about the bird?

Lol, ive seen the family guy episode, dont even mention it! as for the bird in chess terms, easily refuted with a rather direct Froms gambit! when i have more time trev i shall perhaps demonstrate it for you!

froms gambit is used to beat players that dont know how to play the bird. best against bird is 1..d5 followed by kingside fianchetto

Im wondering which line you see as beating the bird. 4...g5 or 4...Bg4 ?

From gambit guys, often end up with old king gambits.

exactly.
if you want to be the aggressor its possible to just flip the roles around.. but I could never do it personally, as even though I hate being on the defensive and love to attack recklessly I feel theres not nearly enough compensation for the pawn in the froms so I just beat that.

If you do not mind me saying so, your talking nonsense, and i shall prove it!
for the Froms gambit is both sharp and positional in nature. It is not a question
of beating the bird, but the player. Its a perfectly acceptable opening for those playing
at my level, and above as the following game suggests! are you trying
to tell the forum that GM Henrik Danielsen, doesn't know how to play 'the bird'?
no well your statements wheels have just fallen off. you may wish to play 1.d5 a
nd fianchetto the kings bishop, which does nothing, attacks nothing, takes no
advantage of the weakening of the Kings diagonal and makes no attempt to
disrupt whites set up, let us who are prepared to give up a pawn or two get on
with some exciting play! you materialist and woosies can hang on to your pawns!

Well, it is said unsound, but best is no not even accept, king's gambit can suit very finek,a bird player, if you accept, you need to be very carefull, as balck got some nasty tricks. all based on the #### weak diagonal @@ open by f2-f4.


Strangly enough, they don,t even trie things like that after 2 e4 and cry.


That game you shopw us robbie, got nothing exciting, it is sure good, but better for white is transpose, accepting the from, normally, give no more then draw.

I am not Audreydude, it is AudreyxSophie. the x is there to separe the names.


the falkbeer is the gambit that follow after, 1 e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 e4,

Better is the Marshall counter gambit, ( not the nimzovitch, he is not the first to play ... c6 ) With, 3... c6 but still equal game.

an eerie silence......from which i can take it that the Froms is sound, black gets excellent compensation for the pawn, rapid and easy development of his pieces and can be played at the highest level! well well!
