Sep-02-09		Sularus: I wonder why this isn't classified as Borg.

Oct-10-10		smalldreams: I've been referring to this opening as Queen's Borg defense. Although in the spirit of the origin of the word "Borg" we could always start calling it the "Namsab Defense." ;)

Aug-02-11		profK: A delightfully loopy game. Typically niche British !!!

Jan-12-12		shakespeare: I looked into the stats, what scores best against d4 - h6! I immediately thought this could only be because of Basman the incredible :-)
