- My first move as white will
always
be this move:
Spoiler:
All my pre-moves and shit:
If 1. ... e5 then 2. d4 then if 2. ... exd4 then 3. c3 then if 3. ... dxc3 then 4. Nxc3
(Danish Gambit)
If 1. ... c5 then 2. Nf3 then if 2. ... d6 then 3. d4 then if 3. ... cxd4 then 4. Nxd4
(Sicilian Defense: Dragon Variation)
If 1. ... d5 then 2. exd5 then if 2. ... Qxd5 then 3. Nc3
(??? IDK WHAT THIS NAME IS, I JUST KNOW WE BOTH LOSE TEMPO FROM IT)
Addendum:
- If moves (otherwise known as "pre-moves") are allowed. Namely: if 1. ... e5 then 2. d4. If you know that the opponent will only have one use (probably because they're in check or their queen is pinned to the king), please use a pre-move. Also look at my intro post for more information on what if moves should look like.
- I will always play white in this, and I'm facing all of you at once. Lesgo.

End result: 0-1, Black is victorious, (checkmate). We also learned I really suck playing against my self.
Qxd6 isn't an inaccuracy/mistake/blunder imo because of what it sets up. Nf3 is a mistake because it allows the queen to be pinned to the king, and in order to escape with the queen, white has to sacrifice two pieces to escape it.
My comments: Overall, this game was really bad for me as white. And it was a really bad game in general, lol. I don't know, (looking back at it now), why I made half the moves I did tbh.
Almost no one I usually play against plays exchange variations of the Sicilian, but this seems pretty standard. 5 ...Nxd4 seems pretty bad though, is that something you really see often that you assumed I would play it?
Nah. I'm used to Sicilian dragon, and aggressive trades.
5. ... Nxd4 is actually something I'm not used to playing. I'll take a look at what stockfish says about 5. ... Nxd4 v 5. ... e5
Stockfish:
5. ... Nxd4 {+0.7} & 5. ... e5 {+0.1}
Yea, so Nxd4 is a worse move than e5.
I'm actually used to 6. ... bxc6, but I always hope for 6. ... dxc6?? because it drops queen, and prevents you from ever castling, because 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8
Very interesting move, I will admit. It does mean that if we got for a mass exchange line, you come out winning.
Edit: Literally a second later, after playing around with my move on a lichess study (with the computer disabled, I'm not a cheater), I found a very interesting line from this position.
I'm actually not sure if that puts you or me at an advantage.
I see your trap. If I played 9. Nxe4 then you play 9. ... e5 causing a pawn fork.
Also, advanced ahead a move, because your options are either: Kxf7, Ke7??, resign or offer draw (which I will decline), it's obvious what move you're making. (Kxf7).
Also, it's a trap if it looks like a great position but it actually leads me to a worse position.
Also, time to be the evil super-villain.
rubs hands together... evilly!
MUHAHAHAHA! I spent 40 minutes debating if 11. Bg5 was better than 11. Qh5+. I'll let you guess which one I thought was better.
I also looked at a bunch of lines for each move, which made my lichess study really really cluttered, so I deleted every move involving 11. Bg5.
Also, all but 1 line I saw from all 3 options you currently have (11. ... Ke6/Ke7??/Kg8) all lose your queen, and possible checkmate you.
And finally, please don't fucking play 11. ... Ke7??. Just don't. For me. We both know that move is the literal worst move possible. :3
Interesting position, nevertheless.
