    We can easily find out if it’s a meme opening or for real. You should play it in Saint Louis tomorrow.

      @Flawedra 3 года назад +67

      The thing about the Englund is that it is mostly a trap opening, so if your opponent knows the line, then you end up in a worse position, which is why the computer evaluates it as a losing opening move. Sorry I went full nerd there

    • @manfrom20xx13
      @manfrom20xx13 3 года назад +30

      Englund works because of one trap, if White player knows how to deal with that trap, Black is in serious trouble especially if played in a GM level

      @@manfrom20xx13 actually two traps. First one is 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Bc5 3. Nf3 d6 4. exd6 Ne7 5. dxe7 Bxf2! 6. Kxf2 Qxd1. The second one is a wider and more known trap 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe2 4. Bf4 Qb4+ 5. Bd2 Qxb2 and if they play Bc3 you play Bb4.

    When hikaru says he is super familiar with an opening, you gotta just resign immediately. Dudes brain will not let him down, and if he knows a tactic with a strong degree of confidence, you better be magnus if you think you have a chance.

    Terraforming is only part of it, even if you start the process the magnetic fields on the other planets are so weak that solar winds would strip away the atmosphere immediately. So it's getting the atmosphere the right temperature and with enough oxygen that we could breathe, and somehow figuring out how to keep it there. Not in our lifetimes unfortunately.
