Calling Alien Gambit bad opening
- Now I am a Crybaby
Calling Alien Gambit good opening
- Now I am known as Chess Trapper
Its just doesnt make sense, one hate doesnt mean I am crying, It means I just dont love it, but you? youre just insulting and making noise in the forum without any goods, I am asking why beginners play this and its bad
Engines show its bad (-2 to Black) and easily countered with C5... Nc6, I knew this 2 years ago!!! but no, you came in, call me a crybaby, you gone too far dude

> Alien gambit? I hate that Opening not gonna lie, why would you sac your very good knight on some F7 pawn? worst part is:Beginners trust this, they dont study Endgames or Tactics, no-no-no, Traps and Gambits is all they study, I know not every beginner is that but Traps and Gambits are the biggest reason Chess.com half of players are under 600elo
> Note:I am not insulting WItty_Alıen or their fans, I...
It is bad, not gonna lie.
But you have to take advantage of the dubious line. You can't just say "it sucks, it should be banned" and call it a day. If you want to prove it as bad, then you have to beat it yourself. Otherwise, it is sort of a "good opening" for amateurs

"I am wondering why people still play this"
Because about 99% of players want to attack on every move; later, when they get more clever, they play normal openings, meaning they are grown-up enough to hold their attack lust for ~10 moves.
Look:

This opponent of mine is no beginner - allegedly 2000+ in rapid. Could you explain 8...g7-g5?
He HAS to attack - compelled by his nature.

I never said It should be banned, I said Beginners should stop playing bad openings that is flashy, they ignore it cuz most players lose against it, also, I know how to punish it, I knew this 2 years ago, another thing is that
- Most people dont lose from Alien Gambit
- They lose because Missed tactics, Not calculating deep enough and less prep for the Opening
thats why I dont love the Opening

Ohh! my legs are shivery, theres another 2 types of people
1. Alien gambit fans who knows their Opening is unsound but fun
2. Lizani type of people, they instantly insult everyone they see whenever they dont love their favorite gambit

Dude this dude called me a crybaby for hating Alien Gambit what are you on about, you know what, just forget it, lizani may get some likes and a comment but it doesnt change the fact that he insulted me without any answers, thats just sad
@JustAChessPlayer177
The only person that is being insulting here is you. Stop imagining things, and stop overreacting (especially to things that you imagined).
No-one cares if you think Alien Gambit is a bad opening. That's no reason to create a thread. Your original post does not allow much room for meaningful discussion.
https://lichess.org/6x9PlCrB this game should be given a draw but lichess gave it a loss
(@)Dark_Emporer66: 'i lose to it too often' ~ That does not make it good.
'it can be very dangerous if you dont know the theorie' ~ That is true for every opening.
'and i think till like 1600 or 1400 its a good weapon' ~ Every strategy in every game is good on a weak level. Therefore, it is not worth mentioning that it is good. If you learn a bad opening but become a stronger player, then you will lose that experience when you need to learn a good opening to keep up with stronger players.
