Sep-22-05		GreenCastle: 4...b4+ is weak. White wants to put his king on f1 anyway, so forcing him to do it is not an accomplishment, considering the Bishop is just headed back to c5 anyway. Simply 4...c6 is much better, as in Mittelbach - Zaynard, Vienna, 2003. Here's a link to the full game, where White gets crushed: http://www.jeremysilman.com/chess_b...

Sep-22-05		aw1988: <4...b4+ is weak.> These are chess politicians. Except they can't play to save their lives.

Sep-24-05		GreenCastle: <aw1988> True that. I read on the internet somewhere that Sam Sloan was dead. Guess not.

Sep-24-05		RookFile: Well, you're probably right about Bb4+ being weak. I'm really intrigued by the Grob, it may not be obvious to players defending against it, that Kf1 is no problem for white.

Nov-24-05		offramp: I must add that the above book CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE and is really R-rated! Sorry about that! I hope nobody has been offended! It's those ICC logs and Newsgroup posts!
