1. e4-b6 should be banned

Sort:

As this opening will win most of the time for blacks, I think it should be banned as a cheating attempt. 

What do you think ?

AllanJones

Spamming should be banned too ...

1..b6 is not dangerous for white if you know something about this opening...It will often transpose into something like a sicilian with b6 or a french defense with the bishop on b7. Anyway, it is not dangerous.

The OP has a point. I won with it yesterday via transposition from the Morra Gambit.

It's a tough nut to crack and just as good as many of the other non-big four defences to 1e4 IMO.

You should take it up yourself !

if 1.)d4 and 2.)c4 then the white is banned.

And trolling should be banned too.

LOL !! I knew this would be a BUZZ.
I love this stupid threads like "is perpetual chess a cheat?" or "is 1.e4 an insult ?". This post was my first attempt to shock the forum :-) Allons enfants de la patrie ! LOL

Go on commenting on e4 b6 ! :-)

1. e4 ... b6 !!

Black can play b6 against e4 but white can cramp black position and make him suffer. Search on youtube, I think there are videos available on onlinechesslessons.net channel.

BTW, I did read some intersting comments, about transposition.

e4-b6 is not a dumb opening. More, it has not yet been refutated.

It's called Owen defense.

.... What should really be banned are these useless threads where one who doesn't understand the point of chess well enough are saying bs like this.

Banning a legal opening is a completely absurd idea with no real reason. Forget about it and spend your time wiser.

Except when played against 1. e4

If its a legal opening, then just make it illegal before banning. Problem solved.

"win most of the time for blacks"

Does that mean if you are Caucasian you have less chess of winning as "black"?

2.d4 (invading the center)

and now, Owen's defense in it's maximum splender :

2 ... B b7 !

3... will be ...e7 ! whatever the white plays.

Good luck !

Chess should be banned ?

It should be banned from public places yes, it tends to attract rowdy crowds. It's also addictive so should be banned from schools I guess.
