Originally posted by LordOfTheChessboardI'm sorry but the french defense is so overrated. I once heard that after 1. e5 e6 black is winning! That's so ridiculous, the french defense is so easy to play against once you learn a little theory. Yes, it is a solid defense but definitely not winning and definitely not better than any of the other solid defenses to e4. Why are french players in particular so adamant about over praising their opening. I play caro kann and e5 but i dont claim that it is the best response and in fact that black is better. French players need to get over themselves.
I answer with 1...e6 and you're doomed.😉

Haha! 😀 Come on, it's not the same thing. His blog is of interest to many chess players here and directly relevant to this thread. Plus, he's not asking for your wallet.
EDIT: I use firefox, no I do not have spyware and yes I'm sure it was from his site.

Originally posted by XanthosNZLOL. Well, God knows I am usually a prime candidate for it. 🙂 I didn't learn until oh, about last week how to put FEN diagrams into posts and there is big ol' fat "insert board from FEN" at the bottom of each posting.
When people stop requiring derision I'll stop giving it.
I was even going to post a "How do I post FEN diagrams?" thread.
So if anything, Xanthos.... be thankful that you dodged that annoyance.

Originally posted by exigentskyI don't know what I have, but I never see any of these popups. (So it was a loan ad? As long as it isn't ads for hardcore porn, I won't be that upset! (Though it probably would make the poll more exciting!))

I can assure you I make no money (either in chess or in any of my other endeavors) ... but I will gladly take some (a "polling tax" if you will), if people are so generous. 😏
