What about a Grob Tournament

Not long after I'd joined a chess club I was playing a few friendly games with a slightly higher rated player. In one game he opened 1.g4 grinning smugly and said, "You don't know what that is, do you?". I shrugged my shoulders, said "No, but it looks crap.", and beat him emphatically inside 20 moves.

Clearly he did not know what it was either! 😠

the grob is nice when they accept the pawn sacrifice on g4 🙂

The Grob is great for white after BXg4

There are loads of other "sound" openings but the Grob is fun!

Yes, and how many of those sound openings have you played seriously? Personally, I have so many that I haven't experimented with that there is no reason to take up the unsound ones just yet (not being masters, what does that really mean?)....

Anyone know how to get the pgn off of chessbase?

opps wrong thread

What a tournament

Tournament 1667

So all you black players who think this is bad come on in and prove it!

If I don't win this I will have to have a suitable forfeit.

Thinks are getting harder but, hey, I know the Grob and I will prepare so everythings possible.

This opening is quite unsound, I should beat Dragon Fire with the greatest of ease 😀

Please don't take offence, but but of those games were lost by basic tactical errors by your opponents. You'll need to post better games or wait till the Grob tourney starts to prove your point.
