Originally posted by mateuloseI have never agreed with mateulose on ANYTHING, until now.
I looked at the first 7 moves in the game, and I said, "forget about it". Your opponent moved his queen around for 6 out of those 7 moves. ANY opening would beat an opponent that does that, you won because your opponent sucked, not because the KG is a brilliant opening.

7,068 games of KG
white 45.5%
black 37.8%
draw 16.8%
The stats support mateulose's opinion. KG is not unsound, but chances of draw are relatively low. However, I would like to add mistakes usually lead to losses in any opening. They just appear to be easier for people to spot (or make) in the KG.
