I think when it is all said and done we will have some good games for analysis and at least a decent idea of which one of the three actually gives the best position going into the middlegame.
Bad things is is that i think alot of the games will transpose into the others...like the one I am playing now...lol

Like i said...good experiment for alot of people to look at.
And i think it will be fun too....except for that one person who is laying in wait with one completely screwed up opening that kicks my butt cause d6 is completely stupid to play against it...lol
Dave
Once again...thanks for hopping in on this one Kepler...now we just need that b6 person
edit:but just to make it interesting I will try and slide into a Balogh or a PCG or a Dutch...or something with f5 in the future

For my part, if white opens with b3 or b4 I won't play g6 but will play b6 instead!
Hmmm, I need some games. I'll set up a few open invites.

I might be old but I still have quite a few tricks up my sleeve...and some openings that these youngsters haven't even heard of...lol

I have five games specifically for this now:
Game 4336984
Game 4336985
Game 4336986
Game 4336987
Game 4336988
Nothing spectacularly unusual so far

Originally posted by nmdavidbWhich is more than I do. The reason I play 1. Nf3 as white and 1. ... g6 as black is to avoid as much theory as possible. I prefer playing to reading books about chess. Physics and mathematics are for studying, chess is for playing.

Actually though if you have good enough tactical and endgame ability ANY opening is playable.
Which is why I will be trying to get into the Balogh in the next few games i have with d6.
Some say it is crap...I say it's fun...lol

I know the guy who did a ton of analysis on it back in the 80's and 90's and have my notes from that somewhere...gotta check in some boxes.
Needless to say it is an opening that either you have tactical prowess or you get slammed.
Not positional one bit...lol
