I don't know, all I know is I wouldn't play either. Do you know what the best opening move is?

1.a4 is called the Ware opening. It's followed up by 1...e5 2.h4 called the Crab variation. They both suck. 🙄 😵 🙄

I think it's a bit like asking whether you'd prefer to be run over by a bus or a train.

ok, didn't we just play?
doesn't matter, sure, i'll play...
want to play from any set piece?
other than 1. f3 e5 2. g4 and you stuck me with black
I would NEVER take up that losing offer...
I might lose after your massive pawn storm
