LOL--We need an impartial commentator :D "A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires." Jacques Servan, 1767
Post #13,396 by ben_tilly 10/15/01 2:41:28 PM Reply	It has been played by better than wharris OTOH so has the grob. :-) But still it is a opening with some good points. The position is solid with nothing obviously wrong. You quickly leave the tactical opening traps of the Sicilian, which wharris undoubtably knows very well. Of course it is not as strong as the traditional variations. Unorthodox openings tend to be unorthodox for a reason. And somehow I doubt that wharris will have trouble with it. But it isn't a horrible mistake either. Cheers, Ben

Post #13,762 by wharris2 10/17/01 12:40:26 PM Reply	No worse than Kasparov vs. Deeper Blue Kasparov deliberately played some peculiar openings to get out of Deeper Blue's opening book, for the most part with success. (The main reason he lost that match was because he resigned the first game in a drawn position and played a "standard" opening in the 6th. :=) "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth
