Pay attention people. THIS IS HOW YOU GET A RESPONSE. Just talk some smack...

Thanks for the clean-up: Ouermyhte (how would you say your username? ie: how does it sound? and does it mean anything?)

I know nothing about the opening either, but I'm game. Looks dodgy to me.

I used to play the From Gambit and CRUSH my opponents!!! 🙂
But after I played my lines against EXPERTS (who knew how to defend) I realized that the From gambit is unsound! 🙁

So now if someone plays 1.f4 against me, I have a line in the Sicilain wher Black ALWAYS comes out better!!!! Heh. I'll personaly recommend after 1.f4 c5! 2.Nf3 e6! and Black is going to play ...d5 taking the center from White. THe really nice thing about this line is that White ends up with this stupid pawn on f4, which not only costs a tempo, it becomes a liability... not to mention that it blocks White's Q-bishop! 😉

While, it isn't the subject at hand... I'd like to give your 1.f4 c5 response a try...

Send me a challenge (your challenge settings didn't accept my measly rating)

The sun has risen on the second day of this challenge and 7 worthy adversaries have gotten in line for their sure-to-come whoopings...

However I am still 3 games short of the 10 beatings I want to hand out to the From Gambit. Surely there are 3 more players out there... My challenge settings are still open, get in while the getting is good.

The current line-up:

Ragnorak: Game 1085667
buffalobill:Game 1085659
Ravello:Game 1085632
XanthosNZ:Game 1085929
dyl:Game 1085672
Ouermyhte:Game 1085608
ohfreak:Game 1085974

Quite a few much higher ranked players on that list....I guess I will be looking at a big rating jump. 🙂 On the plus side, I've got pretty much every From Gambit line that I know of being played. Quite a challenge.

So 3 more of you: bring it on.

In that case I guess I should have made it an unrated game 8-)
