e5. I will need to know how to post a board, and also the deal is we CAN look at databases/books or cannot? I'm fine with either whichever you prefer.

Spoiler:
I'm playing e5, because I like open games but I hate/never study openings and never playing c5 ever has made life easy on me

Cannot look at databases or opening books.

Also, cannot use engines, cannot ask friends. Lemme know if you can think of anything else.

2. f4

Spoiler:
My favorite opening. I haven't studied it alot, nor have I studied any opening alot. However, this opening has produced my most enjoyable games.

Thanks. OK so no looking at anything even databases. Very well then. I assume I'm allowed to refer back to my own spoilers.

2.... d5

Spoiler:
I am typically pleased when my opponent plays crazed opening moves like f4, looking for all hell to break loose. I however seem to always lose to KGA and this method of declining leads to a more open game and hopefully will get us out of book fastest which is always my opening strategy. I really hope he doesn't play 3. d4. I hate that.

Yes, you can refer back to your own spoilers

Spoiler:
DANGIT! I normally like KGA or one of the more passive KGD. I have a lot of trouble against this response. The standard, and only response to 2...d5 i believe is 3. exd5. After 3.exd5 I've seen a few responses from black 3...e4, 3...c6, 3...exf4. I hope for 3...e4 as I'm more familiar with it.


I move 3. exd5

I don't know this line at all, although I've played it a few times in blitz games. I remember dxc6 being ok, but if black doesn't take the pawn back (by playing ...Bc5 or something) then cxb7 is really dangerous(even though white is up two pawns).

The only other move I see is 4.Nc3, which involves alot of analysis and I don't want to spend too much time analyzing.

After 4.dxc6, black has ...Nxc6 ...Bc5 and ...exf4. At first look, I'd reply with Bb4, Nf3 , and Nf3 respectively.


I play 4. dxc6
game so far: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 c6 4.dxc6

4.Nc3 has a better reputation than taking on c6

PyramidScheme moved the c2 pawn to e2, arbiter

In fairness to my opponent I read smilingbills spoiler assuming it was some kind of joke about my diagrama gaffe. So grashopper you can read it too i guess?, not that important of a comment.

As for the board, please IMAGINE that e pawn is a c pawn. thanks, lol

Wait, where did white's e-pawn go?

Spoiler:
I used to play the KG, and I always found this variation slightly annoying. Still, things should be alright, I guess.

Is there some kind of rule that every Malkovich game must lead toward Qh4+ or Qh5+ in the opening?
