I stumbled upon www.beginnersgame.com a while back. This guy claims to have found an opening system that can be played no matter what your opponent does. I did a search on google to get some other’s thoughts and all I got was bashing. I have tried this opening and had about the same success as any other opening. I am not sure why everyone is against this opening. From what I read, people hate it, but no one is showing how it is refuted. I’m not advocating it for the World Championship, but for someone who only plays once in a blue moon and doesn’t have the time to study all the different opening lines, it seems pretty good. I enjoy the games I get out of it. I just wanted to know what RHP has to say about it.
The author is a loon, but he may be onto something for people what never plan on being above 1800. Besides, from the arguments I’ve seen, no one has shown how it is any weaker than say a Caro-Kahn. I have only seen posts that call it crap, but never say where it is wrong. There is also the one guy saying it is the greatest thing ever and challenging everyone. The post died about 2 years ago. I was curious as to what happened to it and if there is any hard conclusions on it yet.
