When was castling instated ?....and was Queenside castling instated at the same time ?....Help Batgirl, help !!
The Fried Fox Attack 1.f3 2.Kf2
Sort:
Castling came about as people became more serious about the game. There was a desire to make it last longer. In the old times, early attacks against the King resulted in shorter games. With castling, games lasted longer. The Italians can be credited with the innovation and it happened in 13th century AD.
My game.
Time: 40 moves/1,5h + 0,5h + 30sec. increments from one move.

Rutra, this is not the "Fried Fox"; this is the "Hammserschlag".
A 1850-1900 type player I know played this in a tournament game recently. He drew a 1700.
This is Gedult's opening. 3. ...Be7 is novetly.
No Sir, Gedult's is 1. f3. This is properly known as Tio's Defense, after the King's magician, who had much success defeating others in court. He like to brag that his opening was the best, so I used to hypnotise Tio to make him blunder. I won much gold from him that way. When the cardinals of chess gathered in Venice at their convention, they decided to rebuke Tio by implementing the castling rule.
Nuff said
checkmmm8, that is actually the Hammerschlag.

It's not that horrible of an opening and was played in a British championship by IM Simon Williams.
To add to this, Simon Williams also won that game, although it was most likely from a slightly worse position.
That guy is great. He plays the craziest stuff.

LOL. The Fried Fox Defense is much more suitable. A grandmaster has used it in play before. Why not rated games, put them to the test.
sup
Nothing to learned from this opening 1.f3 and 2.Kf2, it breaks every opening principles.

It's the Bongcloud! And if you only play unrated games with it, there's your answer
10.d5 seems like a big upgrade
I play this all the time but only against players rated +50 or below my rating. Against tougher players I will play only 1. f3 and then try to choose modern moves after that.
1. f3 2. Kf2 is very old opening, before castling was added to the game. The purpose of Kf2 is to begin the move to safety for the King and get the King out of the way of the rook, which wants to be on center squares. But now that we can castle, 2. Kf2 is seldom played anymore, and all the theory that went with the opening has been lost in the ages.
