Oct-19-04		Knight13: This kind of "Uncommon Opening" is played because White wants the h1 a8 diagonal with out the Knight on f3, cutting off the diagonal. Few of my Chess Friends play this opening very often, thought. Yet I don't think is a good way putting the Knight on h3. The endgame is very interesting.

Oct-19-04		mack: Wow, how disrespectful.

Oct-19-04		Knight13: <mack> What do you mean by "how disrespectful?"

Oct-19-04		mack: Starting with 1.Nh3 - I can't think of anything more disrespectful to be honest. People laugh themselves silly over unorthodox openings but ones like this are completely unacceptable, especially in the damn Olympiad.

Oct-20-04		Chessical: <Macck> Nh3 with a fianchetto is a standard idea (especially in the Dutch as played by Blackburne then Botvinnik). Dekker could have played 4.f4 but instead he aiming for a English set up. It probably caused his opponent to take a lot more time in the opening. There is nothing disrespectful in this in my opinion.

Oct-25-04		shr0pshire: I agree with chessical, here are a few games that follow that line of thought. L Day vs Spassky, 1971 and two world champs playing the line: Spassky vs Petrosian, 1966 here it is in a french: Zukertort vs Bird, 1878 you see it a lot when you know where to look. ;)

Dec-08-04		MoonlitKnight: 2...e5 could lead into the insane Amar gambit, that was sometimes employed by Tartakower. 3.f4??!! Bxh3 4.Bxh3 exf4 5.0-0 fxg3 6.hxg3 Bd6 7.e4 Qg5 8.Qf3 or something similar. Don't try this at home!
