[edit] Fred Defence
[edit] 1...f5
1...f5 is the 'Fred Defense,' a very disadvantageous move for Black. In the starting position of chess, it is well known that the two most vulnerable pawns are f2 and f7 because only the King guards them. Less well understood is that moving the f2 and f7 pawns creates open diagonals to the King, and makes the King more difficult to defend. (Chessmaster 10th edition opening theory table.)
2. exf5 is said to give a clear advantage to White, but not necessarily the game.
2. f4 transposes directly to the swiss gambit and is a very attractive.
We don't like to be answered with that counter gambit.
Some good lines may be 1. e4 f5 2. exf5 Nf6 3. d4 d5 4. Bd3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Ne4 6. 0-0 Bxf5. Is black really okay in this position ? Even if he regain the pawn.
Trying to keep the pawn with Nh4 seem good.
