Freshly Made Pipin' Hot Winawers on a Bun
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

A quirky, strategic opening with fractured pawns. Things can get rather complex and often neither side castles.

Thank you Zhbugnoimt, sigi, unavenisluncem, FTB, and prime rib. See French Defense compiled by builttospill.

Note to self: See Corky's G1511
