What recordable level is that John, the Magistrates Court?1. d4 b6 2. e4 Lb7 3. Ld3 f5? got wheeled out followed by 4. ef: Lg2: 5. Dh5+ g6 6. fg: etc. at a recordable level.
I don't think so!Your next challenge Paul is to document the following lunatic variation of the BDG :
1. d4 d5 2. e4 de: 3. Sc3 Sf6 4. f3 ef: 5. Sf3: c6 6. Lc4 Lf5 7. Se5 e6 8. 00 Lc2: !? (rather than normal 8..Lg6)
Good Luck!

The name itself announces this player, no matter which opening you choose against him he will sac something early on and mess up all your nice plans of doubling up on the open file, or piling up on his isolated pawn, then just after you've pulled your position back into balance, bang another pesky sac, once again you've got to weather the storm before getting back into some sensible position. Now you're two pawns up, about to start your own attack, but no! a piece comes flying your way, putting you back on the defensive. Then after a lot of thought and plenty of defending you finally manage to get out of this latest melee, you're now getting geared up for some fun of your own, you bring a Knight onto the fourth rank with some attacking ideas in mind. Lo and behold he goes and resigns! after having all the fun too!

Quality stuff! Had me laughing out loud. Thanks for posting it Paul. I'll definitely be sharing it...Paul McKeown wrote:Did you ever read Stereotypes by Keith Marshall on the Kings Head website at http://www.khcc.org.uk/mrmen.htm.

There must be many, many lines which have been "refuted" that appear on boards and computer screens around the world and continue to get outings. For example, I wonder when was the last time that
1. d4 b6 2. e4 Lg7 3. Ld3 f5? got wheeled out followed by
4. ef: Lg2: 5. Dh5+ g6 6. fg: etc
at a recordable level.
That makes much more sense. Not that I want to write anything about it, just to be clear!Richard Bates wrote:1.d4 e6 2. c4 b6 3. e4 Bb7 4. Bd3 f5 5. ef Bxg2 6. Qh5+ g6 7. fg etc will give you more joy.
I'm not clear that it makes more sense if one wishes to avoid playing c4 vs b6 and since b6 works particularly well vs c4 it is one reason to avoid it.Paul McKeown wrote:
