I favor unorthodox openings, as these have given better results than more conventional lines. 1.a3 is a ready line for me (I've faced, no joke, every opening reply by Black against it--even Nh6 on one occasion) as White; I prefer to play as Black if given the choice (I find playing Black more versatile).

schnarre: <Abdel Irada: Similarly, it's been discovered that crosses fail to repel non-Christian vampires. For example, Muslim vampires can only be driven off by crescents; Buddhist vampires by eight-spoked wheels; Hindu vampires by omkars; pagan vampires by pentagrams, and so forth. And ...

schnarre: ...I loved Karpov's 10. Bh3! Throughout the game he plugs every gap & exploits his opponent's weak points. With 21. c4, it was all over but the crying!
