Haha, funny someone mentioned g4...have you ever heard of the "freak attack variation" of the sicilian? I forget the move order, but g4 is in the first 5 or 6 moves. Josh Waitzkin used it, and it seemed to work fine for him.

Logic, computer analysis, strength of players, number of players and many other factors. However, the best response can never truly be known 1ith 100% certainty. All that these factors give me is a good indication.

So, the mainline is the best response because it is the mainline and it is the mainline because it is the best response?
