If you don’t know the opening theory…

…play something else.

A really weird game I played just now:

“US” – Ralph Diehlmann, Russian game, blitz (4+0):

1.e4…e5,
2.Sf3…Sf6,
3.d4…Sxe4,
4.dxe5…d5,
5.Nbd2…Bc5?
6.Nxe4…dxe4,
7.Qxd8+…Kxd8,
8.Ng5…Ke7,
9.Nxe4…Bb6,
10.Bg5+…Ke6,
11.f4…h6,
12.Bc4+…Kf5,
13.Ng3+…Kg4??,
14.Be2++

Two funny things about this game: 1) My opponent had a rating more than 100 above my own. He wasn’t exactly a beginner. 2) In the analysis after the game I realized that every single one of my moves were either Fritz’ first or second choice of moves.

The end position:
