Feb-13-04    marcus13: A very hypermodern opening, I guest whit will continue by g3 and bg2. Jul-09-04    skeet: This isn't a very creative name. Jul-09-04    e4Newman: I've never encountered this position, but flipping through MCO, I see an easy comparison to various Reti positions. In fact, there is also mention in the Caro-Kann Defense section but no mention at all in the English Opening section. May-25-05    e4Newman: I've now had some success with this idea from the white side. Good fun! May-25-05    hintza: Usually this would be reached by a different move order: 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 c6 and now 3.b3. May-31-05    e4Newman: Agreed. The wonderful advantage here and in many qp games is that you can reach similar positions via a few different move orders. Jun-16-05    melianis: I've been calling this and related white b3-systems Queen's Indian Attack. Dec-10-05    chesscrazy: Strange opening. Sep-28-08    ravel5184: OOTD 2008.09.28 English with b3 1. c4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. b3 Benko vs I A Horowitz, 1968 Game Collection: Opening of the day - notable games
