  fredthebear: "The Futuristic Chess Opening" (A06) against 1...d6 (instead of 1...d5).

* Batgirl provides a very nice article on it's creator: https://www.chess.com/blog/batgirl/... (Notice how ol' FTB avoided spelling "Santasiere." Spell check does not know what to do with that one either.)

Tartajubow is another favorite chess story teller favorite of mine: https://tartajubow.blogspot.com/202...

I'm still trying to show the younger crowd that this ECO code should be labeled (A06):

Santasiere's folly
A06 Sub-variants:

Reti opening
1. Nf3 d5

Reti, old Indian attack
1. Nf3 d5 2. d3

Santasiere's folly
1. Nf3 d5 2. b4

Tennison (Lemberg, Zukertort) gambit
1. Nf3 d5 2. e4

Reti, Nimzovich-Larsen attack
1. Nf3 d5 2. b3

* Here, check out this A06 game by the creator himself: Santasiere vs S E Almgren, 1942

* This young NM credits CG.com Player of the Day feature for learnin' him about Anthony S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pq...

Warning: If you play the folly, you must keep a grip on the center!
