TitleWhite Salvage Attempt
DescriptionThematic tournament on the Desprez opening (1. h4, or 1. P-KR4), popularly regarded as just about the worst opening move white can make. Can you play it as white and still salvage the game to become a strongly competitive one? Can you play it as black and take advantage of the white 1.h4 weakness? What could Morphy and Staunton have done with this absurd opening? No rating limits here.
