G3: a take on what I despise.

<Comment deleted by user>
My brother, great blog, but you forgot about me! (I am a "new" player, so it is okay, just me complaining).
Also, I love your explanations so far, yet wanted to add some things:
1) as far as my knowledge goes, there are plenty of traps for Black against g3, however, they are in the pretty deep theory field and need a lot of understanding of g3 to set them against the Swedish
2) best option against g3 so far is Nh6 as far as my knowledge goes (I love this phrase), as there are several forced draw lines if you go via best move lines as white, so there are some tricks used
3) I, myself, am currently working on my g3 a5 blog and I found several forced losses (if misplayed ofc), but even the best SF lines go to +1.6 advantage, every other line being +3.0 so get prepared for it to be released.
4) keep it going, love your blogs and have read them all

@Rasul_Dzh I know you are, but we never played bullet g3, and we only have 2 games in our history.

I actually considered messaging you since I want to learn the deeper stuff that is hidden within the g3 opening. Was pretty sure you could provide some tips :)

Thanks for the comment!
I am open to everything, except my main lines, so If you will write another Blog on Swedish or anything related to it, you may easily approach me!
Great blog, as your other ones are as well!

A lot more fun and nuanced than being told I play a shameful opening (happened once) :)
I got used to g3 at some point and stuck to it, I think it is a great opening for learning general principles as you also said. Where to place the knights, they can be dangerous in this opening but also be targets, I think I lost a lot to Bertfighter because he lured my pawns in with his knights, and then I had to promote and lost.
@Pebblerye thanks!

Consider this blog a warning, I'm working on improving myself so that I don't have to get frustrated anymore as soon as I see g3 on the board. :)
