After @voiceofjoey.bsky.social's post on the French last week, today I got the opportunity to use a bit of anti-French home prep. Finished on a simple tactic, but feel like I missed an earlier win. #chesspunks #chess

In this game from a few years back with a slightly different move order Black just got too greedy😆

Don’t like an opening? Transpose into one you know and you might be able to get away with a trap your opponent isn’t familiar with. Today we had Jobava -> Pirc -> Austrian attack -> Sicilian Dragon/Levenfish #chesspunks

So far the hardest one for me has been the 1.Nc3 / no Jobava. Had a run of getting crushed after 1...d5 2.e3 e5 and ending up with v. passive positions, but fortunately someone let me play a Vienna

I tried that one but my opponent kept declining to take the offered pawn 🤣

Haha, somehow got a development lead in the 1.Nf3 2.Ng1 challenge.

1...a6 challenge complete. Got away with grabbing material over development 🤣
