And robbie, I don't think that you would consider yourself rude to ask someone speaking middle English to learn modern English. Our current dialects do come from middle English, but language evolution and accents happen.

Evolution?Tsk tsk tsk!Off into the hollow earth you go.

so i have to play 1.d4 Nc6 2.d5 e5 3.dxc6 in 2 games? deal! 🙂

and you know you could just hit the "reply and quote" button right?

I've just been reading your bit on the other thread about
the Caro Khan. You mentioned sometimes the Queen's Knight
is a problem piece - well now all your problems are solved as
it's vanishes after 3 moves and you get a pawn on c6 for it!

Capture back with the b-pawn and go for a big centre (center).

I don't like the reply and quote button.
It's best just to lift the phrase in question rather print the whole thing.

But each to their own.

About insects in openings, there is a "creepy crawly" opening (1. a3 and 2. h3)

I would call this the "lack of prozac" opening, because black has taken to self-harm.

Sounds like we are all having fun.

one's first four moves could be...

d4 e4 a3 f4

And say this opening is for the hard of hearing.

And for vegetarians:

c4 a3 b3 b4 a4 g3 e4 = cabbage.

What opening does Bagpuss play? The CATalan

What opening does Lassie play? The Colle

...er..that's it.

As this is the silly season.

No Castling, Ignore the Centre, Play the Caro (spit) Khan etc etc.

Rick Kennedy calls 1.e4 Nf6 e5 d5 3.exf6 The Trojan Gambit.

(don't try and email this opening to a friend , Hotmail has a
fit when it 'reads' the word Trojan).

I've played it a couple of times in some blitz games.
Some nice wins - a few terrible ...[text shortened]... y it twice on this site.

(I bet you some nutcase, apart from me, has already played it)

That's the Bughouse gambit. [Then again, in bughouse, who cares if you give up a piece or two to make your King safer...]

I vote to call it the Clint Eastwood Gambit. Or any name that is a pun of Leones westerns. A fistfull of gambits, for a few gambits more, Or the Good, the bad, and the ugly gambit.

An interesting idea...a pun on Westerns.

How about Ruy Rogers?

or

Pat Gambit and Billy the K.I.D

"Pat Gambit and Billy the K.I.D"

That is really good!

Cheers - I'll use that wee gag next time I have to write
up chess game.

Bughouse - is that not a chess variant? like Replacement Chess or
something like that - you take a piece but have to put it
back on the board right away?

A good name though: The Bug. (a contender).
