| Jul-23-07 | | whiteshark: <valuim97: <I have created a gambit with a friend, based in Volga's: <1.a4 b5!? 2.ab5 a6!? 3.ba6 Ba6>>> Well, not the mainstream + discovery => interesting! Some comments: There is no need to play 3. bxa6, because black can not take on b5.
So <3. e4 Bb7 4. Nc3 axb5 5. Rxa8 Bxa8 6. Bxb5 Nf6 7. d3 c6 8. Ba4> should be considered.

| Aug-22-07 | | Morphyisgod: what does evryone think of 1. g4? i have played it a couple of times and have had mixed results, im about 1500 strength |
|
| Sep-07-07 | | WarmasterKron: <Morphyisgod> Theoretically, it's completely unsound. Practically, it's wild and dangerous and requires careful play by both sides. It's easy to go wrong with the Grob if you're unfamiliar with it, whether you've got the White or Black pieces. At any level, the Grob should be used as at most an infrequent eccentricity. By all means play it, but don't play it too often or you'll find yourself losing a lot of games. |

| Sep-14-07 | | get Reti: I played this interesting line against Jester as black: 1.d4 e5?! 2. dxe5 Nc6 3.f4 f6 4. exf6 Nxf6 5. e6 Bc5 and black has three pieces out with great activity to white's none for a pawn. Maybe Jester could have improved by playing 3. Nf3 or Bf4? |

| Sep-17-07 | | olaf4lena: In Standard Chess Openings, Eric Schiller recommends that beginners use the "New York Defense" against hypermodern openings. Does anyone know what he is referring to? I have never heard of it before. |

| Jan-21-08 | | 17.Bxg7: With respect to uncommon openings, I have tried (with certain success) in blitz to play 1. ..b5?! against 1.e4 (attempting a sort of reverse Evans Gambit, consolidating my center quickly if 2.Bxb5 or transposing into a sort of some Queen Pawn Opening if white refuses to take the pawn). I can post later examples of games in this forum. I use to play other uncommon openings in my blitz games with success, but I don't know how many of them actually have a name. I will post in these days some opening "experiments" I have made in a regular basis. |

| Jan-21-08 | | ganstaman: <17.Bxg7> So with 1. e4 b5 2. Bxb5, white develops a piece and wins a pawn. How do you have any compensation here? <just a kid> It's nice, but what are your intentions with 1. Na3? It's not bad, but the way you played it, you tied down your otherwise strong and well-placed bishop to its defense. Since you let white build up a center, you needed that piece to help tear it down. Better would be 1. Na3 e4 2. Nc4 -- getting the knight into the center of the board with an attack on the e-pawn (check out the kibitzing here: Gerard Welling ). Another choice would be to play c2-c3 and then Na3-c2, where the knight is safe and contributes to control of the center. |
|
| Jan-22-08 | | just a kid: <ganstaman>I really don't know.I never played Na3 before.I've played Nf3 g3 Bg2 0-0 before so I was sort of thinking to do something like that, and castle queenside and get an attack started(even though I am not that good at attacks,but have a lot of strategy so that's why I play Queen's Gambit)You're theroy of Na3 is great I should try that soon.Plus thank's for the compliment. =) I'll see that later. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: I think <just a kid>'s idea is not so bad. Actually, I've experimented with a similar 1.Na3 setup myself a few times - it's not all that different from some 1.b3 e5 variations where the knight is headed most probably ultimately, but not immediately, to c4. In that case it doesn't matter if it comes through d2 or a3 - and at least at the rim it's not in anybody's way. Though I'm not sure if the idea should be considered a truly Uncommon Opening at all; it seems more like a transposition to the Nimzovich-Larsen Attack (A01). |
|
| Jan-23-08 | | just a kid: <SwitchingQuylthulg>I am trying to play that too since my last name is Larsen!! |
|
| Jan-23-08 | | MaxxLange: If 1.e4 c5 2.Na3 is a playable line in the Sicilian, how bad can 1.Na3 be? |
|
| Jan-24-08 | | just a kid: I know. All 4 games with 1.Na3 in the database had white winning!I just recently had a great attacking game with 1.f4 without the Queen! |

In that case it doesn't matter if it comes through d2 or a3 - and at least at the rim it's not in anybody's way.> The problem is that after ...d7-d5, the c4 square is not a good place for a white knight. So white definitely needs to work on getting this square under control if this plan is to work out. But why not hit up c4 immediately? After 1. Na3 e5, the c4 square is available and it attacks a pawn. You may say that it is vulnerable there, so I propose playing e2-e4 soon so that Nc4-e3 is playable, with good central control. Plus, this way, the otherwise powerful b2-bishop isn't stuck babysitting the knight while it's on a3. <MaxxLange: If 1.e4 c5 2.Na3 is a playable line in the Sicilian, how bad can 1.Na3 be?> I play the Sicilian that way now when I do play 1. e4. I actually like it very much -- it gives me a few concrete plans to follow-up with without having to face the massive theory and headaches that the open Sicilian brings. <just a kid: I know. All 4 games with 1.Na3 in the database had white winning!I just recently had a great attacking game with 1.f4 without the Queen!> I play 1. f4 almost all the time as white. I don't know about not having a queen, but winning an attacking game with it feels good -- it seems that that's the way it's supposed to work! |
|
| Jan-24-08 | | just a kid: <ganstaman>I'll show you the game if you want me to.It isn't half bad. |
|
| Jan-24-08 | | ganstaman: <just a kid> Sure, post it on the A02 or A03 page, I guess. There are some other 1. f4 fanatics that I'm sure would take a look. |

| | SwitchingQuylthulg: <The problem is that after ...d7-d5, the c4 square is not a good place for a white knight. So white definitely needs to work on getting this square under control if this plan is to work out.> Not really. The knight isn't all that badly placed at a3 - it is safe, not in White's other pieces' way like it so often is, and has long-term prospects even if it's temporarily denied of c4. Besides, it's unlikely that the d5 pawn is there to stay - quite many Black players feel like advancing it, and even if they don't (which is often wise), White can almost always cook up some way to get rid of it should he feel that way. As I said, this is actually a not-all-that-unusual plan in the Nimzo-Larsen. Regularly this move is prepared by a4 to claim yet more space at the queenside; this of course can also come through the A00 move order 1.a4 followed by a quick Na3. It will eventually probably transpose to a perfectly normal Nimzo-Larsen but it drives people crazy to see 1.a4 on the board ;-) |

| Feb-12-08 | | Tomlinsky: In the following game Likavsky plays the novelty 11.c5 in a line against Bunzmann's English Defence setup and successfully follows up. Bunzmann knows his ED onions but rather than the line itself looking threatened it appears that he was having an off day and simply got tangled up after 16...Qh5? 17.Rh3! Trading on f3 or keeping the f6 knight may have made life a bit easier. [Round "4"]
