| Jan-26-08 | | pawnofdoom: Olafsson was 12 when he played this. If Boedvarsson was a good enough player to play the Birds opening, then he should have known better than to ever play h3. |

| May-28-08 | | number 23 NBer: Being a Bird-er myself, I can proudly say that I have never fallen into this sort of trap. However, I also have lost almost all my games where I took the e5-pawn anyway. |

| Jul-21-10 | | jbtigerwolf: I think that if White does not play 5.h3, he will probably win, as he has lost his f-pawn for both Black's central pawns. Black should win when White plays 1.f4. It's surprising that "I've lost almost all my games where I took the e5-pawn anyway".. that is in itself almost a full refutation of 1.f4. So if you don't take the e5 pawn, what then? I'll have a bit of a play, but it's long odds that I'll adopt this dubious opening... stokes the curiousity! |
