Originally posted by CoconutIt's very difficult to play 1. f4 against higher rated players.

But I like quite unusual openings so I have to find something that suits.
oh crap... he's playing the exact same opening against me. I played f4 against him. My only game doing so though. I'll be sure to refer to your game as this one progresses. Game 1341146
I don't reccomend playing 1. f4 unless you have studied it before hand. It can get so messed up so easily for white.
