Jul-19-02    Sneaky: What's the best way to attack the Catalan, as Black? Dec-02-04    EnglishOpeningc4: Sneaky, the best way to attack the catalan is the open variation catalan players hate it Aug-10-10    rapidcitychess: <C4> Tsk, Tsk, Open is what Catalan players want. Their bishop is far too strong if allowed to be. The open is completly reasonable,but must be played with care. FM kicked me in to dirt with it on ICC. Closed semi-slav is better for Sneaky because of his love for it. (4...c6)
