I took with f4 as i didn't want that rook on h8 to get an open file so a checkmate was going to come.
Just in-case you wanted to know, here are some other names for the h4 opening:
Kadas Opening, Anti-Borg Opening, Samurai Opening, and Reagan's Attack
There are five named variations in the Desprez Opening:
The Koola-Koola continues 1...a5.
The Wulumulu continues 1...e5 2. d4
The Crab Variation continues 1...any 2. a4.
The Borg Gambit continues 1...g5.
The Symmetric Variation continues 1...h5.
N.B. I am not lying about any of these!
Grandmaster David Bronstein once remarked that he knew of a Russian player who always opened 1.h4 and always won. His point was that after 1. ...e5 2.g3 d5 3.d4! exd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Qd1 Nf6 6.Nh3! Be7 7.Nf4 0-0 8.Bg2 the f4 knight is well placed and White has a good position. However, Black does not have to be so cooperative.
As the Desprez Opening is very rare, it is considered an irregular opening, so it is classified under the A00 code in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings.

Oh dear! Another blunder by me. Let's play a game. In how many moves will it be checkmate? I think by move 30 what about you? |

I have played the Evans Gambit against a queen not a bishop, 22 moves late! Aren't gambits supposed to give you a positional advantage, i can't how this will work... |

I just felt like pushing this pawn up, hoping balgul2 would somehow mysteriously blunder making it promote to a queen. |

I don't want to exchange off any pawns, so i think this was really the only move i could do. |
