  profK: Must be something better for White...Black is crawling with weaknesses.
Jan-06-14  RookFile: "It depends". For example, around move 25, whatever you think of black's weak squares, there is the small matter of black having an extra two rooks.
Jan-06-14  parisattack: I had decent success with the Polish Defense in email chess. I think it may be partially because the engines evaluate the positions a bit too optimistically for White. (And visa-versa for the Polish/Sololsky/Orangutan Opening.)

I've gotten both Kan Sicilian-like and Classical French-like positions from it.

Polish Defense Books:
Basman - Play the St. George
Harding - Dynamic Black Defenses
Kapianiak - The Polish Defense
Lonsdale: The Polish Defence: Spassky Gambit
Zimmer - Die Polnische Verteidigung

Jan-08-14  RookFile: White's 3rd move in this game cannot be best - he trades a wing pawn for a center pawn.

Yes. Houdini 3 likes 16.d5! and, later, 21.g4!, in both cases with a large advantage for White.
