Am I the only one who would avoid queen trade even if it cost me a piece?

@SnekNOTSnake47 said in #1:

• Queen trades
• D4
• Fianchetto-Castle
• Piece Trades
• Pawn Ending

Those are all things that I hate the most since they're almost always lead to a boring game.

BTW that @SNS48 is 100% not me, so @Lichess don't ban any innocent people please.
How dare you insult d4! Queen's Gambit Forever!

"not even a gambit, how pathetic" how dare you.
Queen's Gambit is a gambit. Sacing the c pawn forcenter control. Unlike the Kings gambit, where sacing the f pawn can lead to a attacked king, espeically at the beginner and intermediate levels.

you're absolutely right, I admire your understanding of both openings. Indeed queen's gambit gives black center control. You are also very right in pointing out that in most cases King's gambit leads to a attacked black king, especially at the beginner and intermediate levels.

Hmm. I must have stepped on something. Oh look! Butterflies!!
Sorry, You misinterpreted my message. When I said my 300 millisecond is your 1 second, I meant that: You said that the guy thought 1 second before declining the bishop. In reality, he thought for 300 milliseconds only. That means he immediately played and forgot to notice. You thought that I was calling you slow. My message said this thing in a humorous way, but I think it's my bad that I didn't elaborate it. Then you called me slow, I thought like ''why is he calling me slow?'' then I also got angry. Now I realize that I didn't add more words to my post. Overall, I didn't wanted to call you slow or anything. Sorry if I made you angry <3

If that's the case then I offer you the lemon tea I just made. It's fresh, warm, sour, and sweet at the same time. Cheers!

I said 1 second because that's what it looks like in the panel above, while 300 millisecond is from the detailed time in the study, so we're both correct. For people who don't play bullet, 300 millisecond is really fast but that's only by the looks of it. In real game, I have the previous moves to foresee that bishop capture, right after they developed their bishop and after I premoved castle. That's about ~2 seconds time to decide, including Lichess' lag compensation.

If I knew they would play that silly bishop move (normal people don't develop their bishop like that) then I would love to bring back my bishop to B3 and avoid any exchanges. But what's done is done. If I were to recapture that bishop, they will 100% exchange queens, that's why I didn't recapture. That bishop wasn't given for granted though, since they spent 2 moves I was able to play F5 which allowed my rook to become very active. At the end of the game, that rook became very important defender and attacker.

That @SNS48 account is 50% me. I have like dual personality where I would play one account when I have one mood and this account when I have another mood. Well, not clinically dual personalities like in movies, but like I don't want to tarnish my main account... well, you know. Still, @Lichess, you can't prove that it's 100% me so don't you dare ban anyone's account.

I think you mean that this is your alternate account.

Not attacked black king. Attacked WHITE king. (but thank you for the compliments) If white plays the Kings Gambit, their king usually gets attacked at lower levels. That is why I recommend the Queen's Gambit.

Oops, you seem to have made another typo, it should be "BLACK" not "WHITE", maybe your keyboard is malfunctioning. FYI, at your level of play, the King's Gambit has a 54% win rate for white.

I have not made a typo.
I do mean WHITE king.
Many beginners and even some intermediates only know 1. e4 e5 2. f4, leading to usually an attacked white king for many games with both players U1000 on lichess.
