1. g4

It is likely that after 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2? Bxg4 white is lost but if white plays something else after g4 he may have a chance to defend

i with the my compatriat Xanthos on this one

are you the same person?

no I just put an open invite 1. g4 e5 2. f3 and he accepted it

tsk, tsk, tsk... you're all on the wrong track... it isn't "1. g4", it's '1. g4!!!!', for white has a decisive advantage with a forced mate in 256, if played right

As someone who has played 1.g4, surely the point of this move is to play g5 (after a supporting Nf3 if necessary).

and what about 1. c4 resigns?

was that move just too frightening for you?
