Secrets of Opening Surprises

Nov-14-04    Knight13: I can't believe there are no kibizing here. Lots of people play this opening in Ruy Lopez all right. Nov-15-04    refutor: not many without ...b5 Nov-16-04    Knight13: If Black play ...b5, then Bb3 as usual. If Black don't, white would be likely to play c3, defending the ...b5 move. Nov-19-04    refutor: what i was saying is that not many ruy lopezes are without ...b5, which is what C87 is, which is why no one has kibitzed on it Jan-15-05    Helloween: I have been playing this recently. I recently discovered that my repetoire, unbeknownst to me, uses a striking amount of lines that Oleg Romanishin plays. May-27-06    ltsiros: Anyone knows if White is OK in this line? 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 d6 5.O-O Bg4 6.c3 Nf6 7.Re1 Be7 8.d4 b5 9.Bc2 exd4 I continued: 10.cxd4 Bxf3 11.gxf3 O-O 12.Kh1 d5 13.Rg1 With good attacking chances, and lost due to a blunder. Any comments appreciated! LTsiros Feb-14-09    freeman8201: This line is a delayed Steinitz? Black waits for White to 0-0 then plays d6
