β The only way to get smarter, is by playing a smarter opponent β
I used to do allot of mini variations of this opening when I started playing chess. At my first tournament a fairly seasoned player wasnβt focused at the beginning and lost to me in a similar way, the game lasted 20 seconds. My chess teacher got mad at me and said that this is not how to we play chess at a tournament level! He was right though, but over the years a decent amount of players would fall for this, probably indicating something about people as a whole.
