2. Ke2 is book??? HOW? "King David's Opening"

Sort:
1e4c6_O-1

Okay, so I was fooling around and I saw that I had a daily game against a closed account, and it was move 2

This was the position.

This is called the Sicilian Defense, in case you weren't aware.

Anyway, I saw the acc was closed, so I played a dumb move.

I played 2. Ke2. 

And then the thing where it displays the opening changed from "B20 Sicilian Defense" to B20 Silian Defense: King David's Opening"

That means that 2. Ke2 against sicilian is a book move according to Chess.com

Who thought "Hmm, yes, let's take this blunder, and call it a book move. That's a great idea. Let's see, how many master games are there with this position? Zero... Sure, make it an "opening move", why not?

I AM NOT JOKING.

THIS IS REAL.

IDK WHY

Miniongolf

book moves arent actually books

Miniongolf

So that's why I always had two book moves. (barring my last 10 or so games, i always played the bongcloud)

Plenty of joke openings are considered book openings by chess.com.... the French for example.

correct, but there is a major difference. 

this is against sicilian whereas Xiong played 1 ... e5.

 

e5 is harder to play against than the Sicilian lines if you actually play 2. Ke2
