I don't know much about it, but it seems that the opening moves (for White) are b3, d3, e3, g3, Bb2, Bg2, Nd2, and Ne2 (in any move order) and stay passive until tactical opportunities arise. It is said that computers have a hard time beating that, but strong human players, capable of building a plan and executing it at their capability have no problem winning against it.

the author claims this is the best innovation in the history of chess. basically he provides different ways of getting to a standard position after 8 moves that he claims is "impenetrable."
has anyone ever encountered this? looks interesting but crackpot to me.[/b]
My post of 07 Jul '06 15:23 still seems relevant.
By playing so many single square pawn moves, either side is almost reverting to chess in it's original form. Also did anyone notice, the messages in http://gameknot.com/fmsg/chess/2400.shtml, date from 2003, and the author was claiming, "Within 1 year, the system will come to the attention of most serious chess players, within 2 years chess programs will be playing the system and prove better than any previous generation programs, within 3 years most players, including some of the world's best, will be using the system regularly or exclusively". As we are now over half way through 2006, is any further comment needed?

"within 2 years chess programs will be playing the system and prove better than any previous generation programs"
now this is a statement that is relativly easy to prove/disprove...
If you have Fritz 8
Just create a bunch of test positions (eg. Like Nunn) which occur from the opening.
then test it with multiples engine (one engine may evaluate the position better than others)
work out the score....conclusion?
