the alien gambit is so easy..

I wish alien gambit wins the vote

If you say that you don’t know anything of alien gambit you need like 30 lines of theory and memory

Congrats, for bongcloud voters, it is bongcloud as the opening but I won’t play since I would’ve only played it if it was Alien Gambit

we should play a game and test your theory
what do i know im only double your rating
amber schooner
what do i know im only double your rating
Obviously you know more I mean saying you need to know 3 moves of theory in Alien Gambit is not enough you need a bit more.
How about you look at this study of AG I made an look at it!
This is how much theory is needed
I still need to add more lines btw
keen radish
I still need to add more lines btw
so far basicly everytime if u just play c5 blacks play is very simple
in my experience
amber schooner
so far basicly everytime if u just play c5 blacks play is very simple
You are right that’s why I either play c5 or e6 against AG
I like c5 a bit better than e6 in my opinion
keen radish
You are right that’s why I either play c5 or e6 against AG
yh so thats y im saying u basicly only need to know a few lines of theory
amber schooner
yh so thats y im saying u basicly only need to know a few lines of theory
Oh ok now I understand not like all these lines I made a pgn on
With Kg8, e6, c5, Bf5?, g6, Bg4??
keen radish
With Kg8, e6, c5, Bf5?, g6, Bg4??
well thats simple
u can find that after like 3 min
but c5 i still dont rly understand
amber schooner
but c5 i still dont rly understand

amber schooner
They messed up
After Nf3, c5, Ne5+, Kg8, Bc4+ e6, O-O, Nc6, Nxc6, bxc6, Re1 is the best line for white
keen radish
doesnt this prove my point?
i dont play the alien gambit
i think i understand what u mean now lol
amber schooner
i dont play the alien gambit
That’s ok if you don’t anyways it is easy to refute if you know how to
keen radish
yh i dont play ag i play caro-kan and face alien gambit like 10% of the time i pla ycaro

That’s ok if you don’t anyways it is easy to refute if you know how to

Oh ok

Well u still said ag is easy to refute which is just untrue
Bruh why can’t I change my name here 😠this is not my rating
keen radish
Well u still said ag is easy to refute which is just untrue
i mean sure in blitz but in rapid i very rarely lose against ag
amber schooner

Well, I almost defeated Witty as black when he played AG but lost on time.
keen radish
infact i dont think i have after i learned about c5

And out of how many games that is
keen radish
i think there are much better gambits out ther
keen radish
And out of how many games that is
not sure maybe 20 - 30 could be less
i only play rapid so
i cant check how many games since i dont have membership
still hollow

Ofc it’s not the best gambit ever made but it’s good for practical play. If u play someone who learned every line of theory like most witty alien watchers did you won’t survive with 3 moves of theory after c5 as black

Tbh yeah not all these lines I put in my study to memorise like even if I will face all of them
But gg now you know how to defend d5
Not to capture with the queen
keen radish
yh no im completely convinced i was wrong buttt i still think in a 10 min game its all simple
then again
i did lose 1 of the 2 10 min games so
amber schooner
It is fine
keen radish
But gg now you know how to defend d5
yip ty lol \
amber schooner
It usually works in low time controls
e6 after d5 is also a blunder btw
Because after dxe5+ your queen is gone
keen radish
It usually works in low time controls
oh yh since its so tactical and im trash at tactics ðŸ˜
amber schooner
oh yh since its so tactical and im trash at tactics ðŸ˜
Ik it’s quite tactical
And if Nxe5 is played after d5 then c4 captalises on the pin to the queen
So d5 is very tactical
keen radish
