Santa Claus violates many laws of physics and is
mathematically impossible. HTH.
You're getting Saran Wrap for Christmas now. Dibs on
your former present.
You really *wanted* that complete set of 1920s hockey
trading cards, didn't you?
Actually, hell yeah I would.
DIBS~!
1. P-QB4 [or c4, if you prefer]
I would prefer c4, actually.
1. c4 e5
Hmmmm....
Hmmm is right.
So far I'm doing this in my head. I think the Chess set is under
the bed with the Shogi set and the weight-training stuff I've never
used.
BWA!
HABWA!

(IIRC there's a forcing continuation that lasts about eight moves.)
Not anymore.
Nice intimidation attempt though. I like that.
He's probably thinking of a whole different opening. All the above
e4 e5
Nope. That definitivally ain't teh English Opening.
I was going off something where it was claimed a series of 8 forcing
moves. I had to consider that the person might have meant 1. e4. This is
the only thing I can think of that's close to it from move three.
Ugh. Sorry, it's the Vienna Gsme, not the English Opening.
1. e4 e5
2. Nc3 Nf6
3. Bc4 Nxe4
4. Nxe4 d4
etc.
The next few moves IIRC involve threats against f7, and thus any
continuation other than the correct one is a loss for black. The
correct continuation results in an endgame that Black can draw quite
easily with exact play, but I can't remember it.
Btw:

There is no hole at d4!

Post by Cujo DeSockpuppetPost by Peter J RossSM's weird Bishop move is *so* weird that I almost feel scared. We're
not in Giuoco Piano Land any more, Toto!
1. c4 e5
2. Nc3 Nf6
3. e4 Bc5
4. d3
The bishop move isn't weird unless you're not planning to play nc6.
Trippy has played c6, and is therefore obviously not planning to play
Nc6 any time soon. I've played Bg5 in the hope of demonstrating that
either b4 or e7 would be a more sensible square for his King's Bishop.
But it's too soon to tell.

I'm doing it in my head too, so I may have transposed a move.
HTH!
That's far out. What are you on?
Reality. It's a known opening but mostly used at postal level, not OTB
play.
I was speaking admiringly.
In postal chess, the more complications the better. In OTB play, I
prefer to simplify if I can, since I'm better at endings than at
openings or the middle game.
PJR :-)
