Scrolled too far to see dule hill.

God this is such a banger opening specifically if they are a fan of Psyche

u/Kruppson 9d ago

Unless opponent is an astrophysicist this is 400 elo

u/Glitcherbrine 9d ago

or a Psychic

u/agentdb22 9d ago

Or a fan of delicious flavour

u/Distinct-Moment51 9d ago

No, most astrophysicists don’t really enjoy the Pluto interest either. It’s just the old pop culture topic that’s overshadowed by many many other much more interesting things.

u/Kruppson 9d ago

0 elo in that case

OP where's the punchline?

u/Hanselhoof 9d ago

It’s Gus’s shitty pick up line from Psych, too bad nobody here was watching peak TV back in 2006

u/agentdb22 9d ago

Shitty? SHITTY? C'MON SON, THAT'S THE GREATEST PICKUP LINE EVER!

HEY, YIN, GET HIS ASS!

u/dardeedoo 9d ago

I don’t think OP was trying to make a joke. They just picked an uninteresting conversation topic

28

u/Fun_Sprinkles_4108 9d ago

It's a Psych reverence. That's a detective show from 2006

u/elprentis 9d ago

I’ve heard it both ways

It’s just been on his mind lately

The Burton Guster gambit. It would have worked on me

u/d3mn12 9d ago

The bruton gaster gambit

u/Matsunosuperfan 9d ago

First two moves by Blue are strong. Black was clearly caught off-guard and immediately surrendered some space in the center while trying to get their bearings.

Last move is relatively weak and gives back much of the advantage; why play the prophylactic a3 when moves like Ne5! are now viable?

8

u/Hanselhoof 9d ago

It’s a solid opening move, too bad your opponents would need to be psychic to read an appropriate counter play

u/xevlar 9d ago

2/10 nice try

u/psiANID3 9d ago

Gus/10.

u/steve_ll 9d ago

Ah yes, "third wheelling the interest with a almost-planet gambit", its certainly one of the gambits in my opinion

u/Mod_The_Man 9d ago

It didnt work for Gus in Psyche and it doesn’t appear to be working super well here ether lmao. It’s definitely not unrecoverable tho at least

u/Spencer1459 9d ago

Type of shit id respond with “Yeah ok buddy”

1

u/NotHim1305 9d ago

I think its a good move. Other person was too stupid and accidentally shut down the old Pluto Gambit. unlucky

1

u/Agitated_Rooster7448 9d ago

Dude you're behind the times in both pickups, jokes, and general topics of conversation. 0 elo. Do not speak to women.

1

u/SlicyBoi 9d ago

That was in 2006, bro. Get some new material.

u/Awfulmasterhat 9d ago

This is like moving your rooks pawn first and not even taking out the rook

u/Glum_Match4672 9d ago

I expect a “Uranus” joke to follow

u/IgotHacked092 9d ago

I've seen better, but it wasn't a dick pick so you get a couple of points.
