The Fried Fox (Williams vs Simons, 1999)

1. f3 ??
2. Kf2

Don't try this at home, unless you want to enrage your opponent. The opening of f3 is renowned to be of the worst opening 20 plays available in chess, and to follow it up with Kf2 is nothing short of antagonistic.

Story goes Simon Williams was mid-table going into the last round of the 1999 British Chess Championship, and was wagered by his friends a crazy amount of alcohol to win with this opening.

Was recently used in 2020 by Carlsen to defeat So in a blitz tournement at GM level, so if nothing else it has an amount of psychological impact.

Can also be used as black, but... Why?

1. ?? f6
