1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4. We now know the exact outcome of this position, assuming perfect play, of course. I know your next question, so I am going to pre-empt it: there is only one move that draws for White, and that is, somewhat surprisingly, 3.Be2. Every other move loses by force.


Don't play this as White.

I got bored with chess after I beat someone in only two moves.


Do any of you know how I did it?

The neat thing is that Bobby Fischer called this 50 years ago.

Chess is boring. The lack of entropy makes it a dull affair.
