Penny's Gambit

Claiming your team has a COVID outbreak in order to avoid playing against a strong opponent.

Penny Hardaway claimed his Memphis Tigers had COVID so they wouldn't have to face Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers. He used the old Penny's Gambit. It's a bold move, but at least avoids the loss and he can still claim that his team was superior even though they contracted COVID and Tennessee didn't.

Epstein’s Gambit

In a move so brainless and unintelligent, a player will sacrifice his queen for a piece of considerably lower value. The move is so questionable one might reason that ‘bigger forces are at play’.

“Have you ever tried Epstein’s gambit, it’s a KILLER move”.
