  • that cracked me up when you laughed at rybkas ridiculous ideas

  • I think 1.e4 c5 2.d3 Nc6 3.f4 d5 is an effective equalizer against this move order. That would be one of my concerns as White. Probably the best way to reach this system is through the Bird (1.f4) against Sicilian systems (which are still quite popular against the Bird). This system (Grand Prix Attack with 4.Be2) is in fact what Tim Taylor recommends against 1.f4 c5 in his book on the Bird .

  • This system looks like it belongs in the same family as the Grand Prix attack, which doesn't really offer White much. I think most of the advantage in playing this system would come from surprise value. A well-played game nonetheless!

  • No, wait, it's changing its mind, it likes Rac8 better, No idea why lol

  • What Rybka do you have? Still the old one? Fritz11 likes Qa6, and prefers Rfc8 to Rac8 after Rac8 at move 13

  • Why not 12. Rxf3 instead of Bxf3? White wants the rook to end up on f3 anyway Doesn't Rxf3 save a tempo?

  • wow, I tried this against some English Opening player and although I never came to a real attack, because the opponent was careful to control the h5 square to stop my queen I got a very comfortable position in which he started to do random exchanges (even his LSB although it was king-side-fianchettoed near his king). then he fell for a simple knight fork :) I didn't know games can be so comfortable if you have plans ! thank you for that

  • I will try this in my games. It's a sneaky tactic that can be real fun in 5 min games.
