Proper Level? I Think Top Level is the phrase you're searching for Rant a bit less, maybe you're English will improve. I didn't say a4 hasn't been heard of, I simply said I'd never come across it in my own games, I'll look into it at some point, but as I'm not interested in playing the Czech anymore it's of no real concern to me. It isn't however, mentioned at all in that Andrew Martin DVD so you've rather contradicted you're original argument that it goes into all the sub-linesBen Purton wrote:????? thats laughable. Ive played this opening literally my whole chess "career", Mcshane plays a4, as do around 40-50% of my games V titles on the icc. I must play around 3-4 games in czech system a day on average on there.
a4 hasnt been heard of? is a shocking statement, its played alot more often than h3 at a proper level.
Anyway I've been warned in PM by a couple of members that it's not possible to have a rational discussion with you, and you're known for this type of childish behaviour - so as I'm a newbie here I think I'll heed their advice and cease this discussion with you now. Thanks.
