Ah! so i see! 'Cultural differences' plays a part as well! ok! that means I can safely let my hair down here alsol!!

Point noted Smyslov. I apologise if whatever -ve vibes got to you in some way. When I saw that baseless accusation thrown at me & the aggressive words directed to Willempie I just flipped.    

There are ways of writing to deliver a sharp stinging message w/o sounding offensive/ aggressive/emotional.  You belong in that category of writers. So no worries. (you are an English teacher right? since you hv such way with words)

But words like 'cyber smack you for your ridiculousness' is nasty & immature; A simple 'I disagree with your views' would suffice. Or if you want more sting, 'It is unlikely that you should have such uninformed/naive views.' 

Also in the spoken language, where intonations & body gestures also come into play, "f*** you!" can be a remark said in jest (tho its still in bad taste) or a highly repulsive insult. But in the written language where there are no jesticulations or intonations, wordings have to be precise & chosen well to convey what you actually mean.

With all due respect, I just hope good ol BK realises this.

Touche BK

Please read carefully:" The KG can be wild at times but its still relatively a lot more solid & less risky compared to the Najdorf Polu! The King is also more secure in the KG even in games where white does not castle."

Was there any mention or discussion about soundness?? Is 'risky' an indication of unsoundness??  Is the mere mentioning of the truth that the King's position in the Polu which is usually or generally more exposed than most other openings considered a criticism of the system?? Where is the Polu Knockin that you were talking about??

Also your aggression towards Willempie was totally uncalled for.

I apologise if I too sound aggressive, but its precisely this kind of behaviour which I have very low tolerance level for & which Ive seen too much of in the BDG, that 1 KID thread & now its happening again here.

C'mon! we are chess players. Chess players discuss things civilly. We are not chess apologists. Chess openings do not  need apologetics for defence of their whatever creditability.

Dont be knockn the polugaevsky. Its wild but not over so. I wouldnt say it is more unsound than the kings gambit by any means but that is for another section of this forum. 

As for the exchange being better than the KIA i cyber smack you for your ridiculousness! The exchange french is one of the most boring openings known to man. More so than any closed siclian or main line caro-kann! of course this is my opinion but the positions yeilded by it are mostly in my favour
