Secrets of Opening Surprises

Feb-11-06    Z.Ramsay: damn! look on black's winning percentage...I think Ive found my new opening...RUBINSTEIN kicks! Feb-15-06    blingice: The drawing rate is very high. Feb-16-06    Z.Ramsay: indeed but judging my level and the level of my local opponents that i will be playing (fide and national masters)...an occasional draw wudnt be bad at all!
