Aug-09-07		pazzed paun: the selection of games on this page may not be complete but it would seem to show GLEK as having a rather narrow repertoire

Apr-06-13		Bowen Island: As a well known opening theoretician it is to be assumed that he may have focused on certain openings in specific periods in his life and thus appear to have a fairly modest repertoire. He undoubtedly immersed himself in these openings, understood them well and played them out as a means of testing his theories. Thus it would appear to be normal to expect at certain periods he would have an in-depth knowledge of several lines in a limited repertoire. In going over some of his Four Knights (C47) openings one can see a pattern emerge whereby he would often play g4, sink a White Knight on f5, seek open lines for his two bishops, swing his rooks over to the King side, direct his Queen against Black's King and let loose through a sacrifice or by pushing his g or h pawn. I found this to be quite an instructional.
