Richard Rapport Opening Ideas
Compiled by mjhprep
--*--

GM Richard Rapport plays extremely interesting opening ideas. My favorites are g4 instead of g3 to fianchetto the bishop, exchanging the fianchetto bishop for knight when it creates pawn weaknesses.

N/L - exchange Bb2 for Nf6 to force ef6.

N/L - meet Bg4 with f3, followed by e3, Ne2, g4,
