Problem with the Bird is that black can respond with the stonewall dutch which is hard to crack

If you are recommending 1.f4 f5 as a symmetrical defence, I suspect that 2.e4 is quite a strong gambit. 1. f4 e6 with a delayed ...f5 might be a plan. Will think again. :-)

Have done so. Against 1. f4 e6 White can play 2. e4 (a transposition to the Labourdonnais Variation of the French Defence) which, despite its unorthodoxy, can even win at the top level.

Perhaps Black should have played 2...f5!

Take care,

Hi,
I accepted what said Count-Isouard. And I add that f5 in a chess correspondence only can be played in some circumstances which are favorable. In a high level, it is not usually played to game´s opening. Many peoples play f5 in the middle game, since are useful.
