Feb-14-05   Poisonpawns: I think 2..Qd6!? is a very interesting way to play against 1.b4,all the lines seem to be forcing.Instead of 2.a3 which gives black the big center and easy game,2.b5 seems to be the only other move that doesn`t lose a pawn.i.e 3.b5 Qb4 4.Be5 Qxb5 5.Bxc7 Qc5 6.Be5 Nc6 and here black is better.Perhaps the crazy looking Nc3!? works for white trying to gain time on the exposed Queen.If that does`t work then I think this line puts the orangutan out of business.
Apr-08-05   Kangaroo: To < Poisonpawns >: You are right! The move 2. ... Qd6 looks promising.

Any pawn sacrifice from White may have its disadvantages in the future.

As to the center steadily occupied by Black, this is going to be more reliable than an extra pawn.

Aug-31-07   BalaKKa: About 3 weeks ago one of my opponents in a fide tournament played the polish against me. It was interesting for me. And i'm surprised. I had 2009 ELO, my opponen't had 2117.
