Moves : exf5 c4 e5 f3 ? Nc3 Bd3 ? (back)
The 'Kingston Defence' is characterised by the opening moves:
1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5 It can also be reached after the transposition of moves 1.d4 f5 2.e4 e6 — a form of Staunton Gambit Declined. The first record of the defence being played is Schiffers-Chigorin, 1880. The first record of a win by Black is the 1892 victory of Elson over Emanuel Lasker. It remains obscure, but has considerable surprise value. The Kingston Defence shares a weakness with the French Defence — in the form of the constrained queen's bishop -- and a strength with the Dutch Defence — namely the early thrust of the f-pawn, which often supports a knight on e4. (These French and Dutch similarities led to the first, uncomfortable name for the defence: Frutch.) White's decision at move three tends to define the nature of the game that follows. ============ Contributors : Gavin Wilson [ECO "C00"] [Opening "French defense"] exf5 : 33 games, White ELO av : 1605, Black ELO av : 1653 1-0 : 57.6% , 1/2-1/2 : 9.1% , 0-1 : 33.3% e5 : 4 games, White ELO av : 1778, Black ELO av : 1891 1-0 : 25% , 1/2-1/2 : 25% , 0-1 : 50% Nc3 : 3 games, White ELO av : 1941, Black ELO av : 1566 1-0 : 33.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 66.7% Nf3 : 2 games, White ELO av : 2037, Black ELO av : 1550 1-0 : 100% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 0% Nd2 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1400, Black ELO av : 1288 1-0 : 100% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 0% See this chess line with the javascript viewer
