Secrets of Opening Surprises

Apr-17-02    emuvdi: a marvelous site for an enthusiast of chess!Wonderful! Apr-17-02    Webmaster: Many thanks. Be sure to tell your chess friends! Mar-28-04    ruylopez900: One question...has "Webmaster" been replaced by the username chessgames.com? Apr-26-04    Calli: Like Mig says, should we rename this the St. Petersburg variation now? Mar-14-06    blingice: <ruy> Yes. I love how some people wander the site, make a random comment about wanting to play on a random game, or about how great <CG.com> is, and then never come back. Whatever. Back to the opening, I'm sure it's one of the most bizarre ones I have seen with an ECO. A white fianchetto, directly across from a black fianchetto-type thing, but with a flared pawn wall. White has opened up a huge fissure in his pawns, with little support for the d-pawn. The black pawns are even weirder, in a formation like click for larger view I can't imagine playing an endgame with them. It's also interesting to see <CG.com> in it's desperate starting phase. ;) Feb-25-09    WhiteRook48: why not 2. Bg5?
