Gotta love the camera operator for *squeezing* as much of this man's outrage and frustration as humanly possible with ruthless disregard for his descent into madness.

That's the chess coverage we all need.

Man can't handle realizing he's gonna have to play chess instead of Memory Quiz

I legit thought he was gonna flip the board after all that.

It is Italian grandmaster Lorenzo Lodici who played f4 . his opponent Andrei Macovei after some time played Nh6 .

[bludermate]

The one who played f4 was smart, he destroyed his opponent on the first move itself.

His expression: „I‘m done with chess“ 😂🤣😂🤣

I remember someone played 1.f4 against me a lot of years ago. I immediately played 1....e5 as I had studied the From gambit in case I ever came up against it. My opponent panicked at my quick reply, took ages over his move, blundered shortly afterwards and I won in 15 moves.

[Kiran_Nath]

Funnily enough although he was winning most of the game, he critically blundered 30. cd8 probably because he was still fuming that his opponent played 1. f4.

Bro is like: Are you serious right now?

[jerrrrrrrrbear]

I remember one of my opponents had a similar reaction. They knew I always played 1. f4, so they were studying (I presume) the From's Gambit (a gambit I super hated playing against as white then). I overheard my opponent talking about it so I switched my opening to 1. e4 instead, and he got visibly upset, hahaha.

GM Lorenzo Lodici (that Piero from Italy) played this vs. IM Andrei Macovei (of Moldova) in Round 8 of the 2022 Chess Olympiad, match 015 on board 2. Black's first move was equally weird: Nh6. Its a kind of anti-chess.

It was pretty even (black didn't really get an advantage from the weird opening). Starting move 25 black was better after white exchanged the bishop and knight, but on move 30, after white played Qc3, black played Rcd8, attacking white's d-pawn and undefending his c-pawn. This was a turning point. White captured the c-pawn with the bishop, and black captured white's d-pawn with the queen on the next move. Apparently Andrei didn't see that after that, white could capture black's bishop with check, after black captures the bishop, white captures black's queen, and black captures white's queen with the rook on the d-file, white had the knight fork (rook and black's b-pawn resulting in white getting a passer). It was all downhill from there.

f4 - then the opponent will press alt + f4

[kaykobadkhan]

Looks like Danil Dubov's lost brother!

[mr.anonymous]

My man was calculating 25 moves deep right out of the opening😂

[ChemiCalChems]

Black's just trying to remember the recently discovered mate in 372 after 1. f4.

When you prepare for exam and question paper is full of questions you skipped :)
