Default Adams proves why garbage openings ruin title chances

Hi!

he plays, as white:

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bb5

We'll hear about how the system is "playable," but the fact is, 3. d4 is
"theory" for a reason: it's the OBVIOUSLY BEST MOVE. He just handed
equality to Black at MOVE THREE.


Point1: why should 3.d4 be the obviously best move? Despite the fact that it
is the most played move,
i see no "obvious" reason for your conclusion. But "the most played move" is
not always "the obviously best move".
I could as well state that the "Scotch is obviously better than the
RuyLopez" (but would there be any reason for this? i doubt it)...

Point2: look careful at the game, Adams had a clear advantage after the
opening.

In top level games, the player who deviates from the best theory first
usually loses. This game is yet another example.


Again: Adams had a clear advantage after the opening.

Adams was trying to cheat theory with a simple move that leads to

relatively
simple (but weak) lines for white. He lost, as he deserved to.


Have you really looked at the game?

"I ain't gonna play Sun City" and the world's best chessplayers should not
play Libya, which banned the Israeli players from competing. Shame on the
Americans who went!


Well, i agree with the point that Libya was a bad choice for such a
competition.
