  Phony Benoni: I hate to bring this up, but for an opening as original as the <Creepy-Crawly Formation> it's hard to believe that there could possibly be a Classical Defense.
Nov-13-08  andymac: Having never seen this opening before, I am now planning to use it just so I can reply to "what opening is that??", with a nonchalent "that? oh it's the creepy crawly variation, classical defence".
Nov-13-08  dovif: what is wrong with 34 BC3
Nov-13-08  kellmano: 34. Bc3 Qf4 + and 35 .......Qxf1 (+)

What is the non-standard way to deal with the creepy crawly??

Dec-20-08  thebribri8: Someone find me a Creepy Crawly: Symmetrical game.
Dec-20-08  thebribri8: Oh! I found one! Larry Evans vs H Gordon, 1946 To my dismay, it isn't called the Symmetrical Vartiation.
