I know 1.a4 2.h4 is "THE CRAB!!"....but is it also "THE CRAB!!" when you play it as black? 1...a5 2...h5...
any body have shillers unorthodox opening book?
as far as the "the crab" he made that name up. Just like I have a opening called the ha ha 1.h4 2.a4 3h5 4.a5 and h6 and a6 if it dont drop the pawn. I have 3wins 1lost and 2draws against a avg of 1800uscf. I can not play it on here1. because they have longer and 2. they always delete the game.

Originally posted by chessisvanitybecause he has friends that go over some book with him and he ask alot of questions. He was rated 2080 or so when I played him. I was a very good 1750 playing up at the time. I am 19-- now. He may have made master. As for the game I am sorry the games was no big deal for me and got lost in several moves to and from school and army. However if you just go to uscf's website and look him up you will find that he lost to a lot of lower rated players. Maybe chesslab will have some of his better games but I am sure there are not many high rated players he beat without something going on under the table. I will look for old scoresheets and I will post the game. I do not want to post my name for privacy reasons sorry.
i figured he was a master?...you saying he is only an expert?...
what is your uscf rating and what was his at the time?
any chance you can post the game here?
why in the hell is he writing books if he is an expert?.....
