I've never liked openings that involve an early f4/f5. Seems like a bad idea to rip open your king side like that.

Is it time to give up?

Chess is the last remaining meritocracy. If you want to win more, play more.

That said, your in good company. At my last chess club we kept a log book of everyone who got there ass beat by the 12 year old.

I could never wrap my head around bishop's pawns and what are they supposed to do what am I trying to prevent. This is how I get rekt.

attack or defending the center pawns, your opponent controlling the center squares

>>54214337
Support center, provide opening for better positioning, trade to the side after castling to threaten line?

>How much HP do the pawns have
>What is the damage per second of the bishops?
>Does the Rook's armor negate a percentage or is it 1:1? Does damage stop at 0 or 1?

You can't seriously expect anyone to play this game without knowing these sort of things. Fuck off with your bait game and thread.

Mostly, prevent an easy advance to the e or d file, as well as support Nf3/f6/c3/c6 while leaving the option to advance the pawn in the future open.

Agreed. That seems primitive at best.
