| Oct-13-11 | | rapidcitychess: Uncommon openings are annoying for a "normal" player; They can trap the death out of you in rapid/blitz. And really there's no antidote other than taking your time, which can be deadly in a blitz game. -.- |

| Dec-30-11 | | Phony Benoni: From an account in the Sedalia Weekly Bazoo, Feb. 5, 1884, of a blindfold exhibition in Louisville by Zukertort: <"When Mr. Lovenhart opened 1.PKKt4 the doctor waited a full minute before he made his reply. A bystander suggested that Zukertort was not thinking of the game but merely trying to form a mental image of the man who would open a game in that manner."> Zukertort won the game.

| Jan-17-13 | | ozmikey: An odd thing happened to me on FICS tonight. My mouse has been acting up lately and when I tried to open with 1. d4 it came out as 1. d3. Making the best of it, I ended up with quite a decent KIA-style position out of the opening and won quickly! |

| Aug-21-13 | | nescio: I couldn't find any games that started quite the same way, and after only three moves the two players have created a unique position, a rarity in a master game. A little further into the game it becomes clear that we are in well-known territory after all, but with colours reversed (1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.f4 d5 5.e5 h5 6.Nf3 Nh6 7.Bd3 Bf5 etc. has been seen many times). Bosboom can play marvellously but here L'Ami shows much better strategic judgement and unfortunately the last stage of the game isn't worth much. [Event "bdo"]

| Aug-21-13 | | parisattack: Gurgenidze Robatsch Reversed. The tempo doesn't mean too much in such a blocked position. But 7. Bf4 and 10. c4 is where I would look for White alternatives. The finesse in this line is Norwood's idea of not even playing Bg2/7 as it goes back almost always. g3/6 simply becomes a 'high class waiting move.' |
|
| Aug-21-13 | | nescio: <parisattack> I see that he was even happy to lose a tempo in the opening: 1.e4 g6 2.d4 d6 3.Nc3 c6 4.f4 d5 5.e5 h5 etc. The bishop is still on f8, where it should be in this position. To play it against Michael Adams however may be a little too much. On the other hand, he would probably lose to Adams with any set-up... Adams vs D Norwood, 1991 |
|
| Aug-21-13 | | parisattack: Yes, seen that game. I think there's close to 200 ELO difference there? Norwood discusses the variation in the Foxy Modern-Modern CD. But in a few move orders black can even get away with d5 in a single move, saving two tempi. Long ago I printed all the Shakmatnyi Byulletin articles on the Gurg and if memory serves the tempo-saving Bf8 was mentioned in one of those, well before Norwood's time. |

| Jun-06-14 | | parisattack: Orangutan/Polish/Sokolsky Opening of the Day.
I've had good success with it. Black equalizes (duh!) but White can drive the type of position he wants. Against 1. ...e5 this has worked well for me: 2. Bb2, Bb4:; 3. Be5:, Nf6; 4. Nc6?! Off 1. b4, c5 going to a Sicilian Wing Gambit seems best. 1. ...Qd6 often praised as a near refutation but that hasn't been my experience. Actually quite a few books on it:

 | | offramp: I think chessgames is in error today. It is my belief that 1.b4 is the Orangutan and 1.d4 b5 is the Polish. I don't think the names are interchangeable. |
|
| Jun-06-14 | | parisattack: 1. b4 has been called Polish, Orangutan and Sokolsky by various authors. 'Sokolsky' is the most popular, as you can see from the list above. 1. d4, b5 to my knowledge is only called the Polish Defense. There are a couple books on the latter, I'll look at the introductions, see what they say. POLISH DEFENSE BOOKS

nobody is discussing this opening which my last opponent played :( |
|
| Jan-10-17 | | parisattack: <Octavia> There is not much discussion of chess openings period on CG.com. Here is a link for magazines covering unorthodox chess openings: http://jeromegambit.blogspot.com/20... The Unorthodox Openings Newsletters can be downloaded. I found them very interesting, thought-provoking. CG.com member <wwall> was a frequent contributor. |

 | | wwall: I've contributed a lot of off-the-wall openings to UON, as well as lots of Jerome Gambits (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7) at Rick Kennedy's site, and a collection of Grobs, Larsen, Orangutan, etc in my books years ago, and updated with latest uncommon openings in pgn format on my chess page at http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com/ |
