| Apr-01-09 | | Alphastar: I have played both the white and the black side of the Hammerschlag, and I must say it should not be underestimated. Players who become victim of the Hammerschlag often think that with the early king sortie, they should try to attack the king as soon as possible. Only, the a7-g1 and h4-e1 diagonal are not as weak as supposed, with the king giving pawns on e3 and g3 extra cover, besides which it is quite hard to get a knight in since the f3-pawn crucially covers e4 and g4. All in all, the attack on the white king is an illusion. My advice is to play 1. .. c6 and 2. ..Qc7 so as to confuse the Hammerschlag player, who cannot grasp this mysterious set-up, so you will be at a psychological advantage, besides which you will actually retain the possibility of castling. |

| Apr-01-09 | | chessman95: I've got an interesting gambit that I think was posted by <blacksburg> on another page (it's also in my bio): 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Rg8?! 3.exf6 gxf6
click for larger viewand now you could do the same thing on the other side: 4.d4 Nc6 5.d5 Rb8?! 6.dxc6 bxc6 
click for larger viewand a possible continuation: 7.Nf3 e5 8.Nc3 d5
click for larger viewand black has incredible control over the board. I admit that for 4 points this gambit is very tempting. |

| May-11-09 | | mrandersson: I personal quite like 1 c3 and i play more or less every game now with white. its a good way to get people out of book and i like the set up with d3 and Nf3 Bg2 and 0-0 with the other knight on d2. |

| Jun-05-09 | | Moses2792796: What do people think of this line in the Benko opening. 1 g3 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 Nc6 4. Qd1 Nf6 5. Nh3 Bc5 6. Nf4 OO 7. Bg2 Ne5 8. Nc3 c6 9. OO d5 10. h3 and white has a good position I usually manage to get to this position in most games where I play 1.g3, with some variations of move order. There are other lines that black can play but this seems to be the strongest. White will proceed to play e4 followed by active play in the centre. I like this opening because it makes full use of 1 g3, by developing the bishop there and using it as support for the Knight. The main disadvantage is that white gives away alot of tempo early, although in my experience it isn't enough for black to launch a sucessful attack and often players become over eager and end up losing material by attacking too early. |

I'll play you that as white any day. I'd love to see some games you've played with it, if you have any. |

2) The Moravian Series (1-4)
2) Play 1. b2-b4 by Lapshun
4) Orangutan by Wall
5) b2-b4 by Levy

| Aug-02-10 | | Amarande: Surprisingly difficult for Black to find a win, though ... Consider this quick win of a Pawn:
1 g4 d5 2 h3 c5 3 Bg2 Nc6 4 d3 d4 5 Bf4 Qb6 6 Nd2 Qxb2 7 Nb3 Qc3+? 8 Bd2 1/2-1/2 |

| Dec-20-10 | | TheRavenPK: <Cushion> I guess after this game White will never again exchange his black squared bishop in this opening for something else than Black's BSB.. And if you were black, nice tactic :) |

| Jan-21-11 | | Amarande: An interesting gambit in Gedult's that I was pondering tonight: 1 f3 d5 2 e4 dxe4 3 fxe4 e5 4 Nf3 Bg4 5 Bc4 Bc5 6 d4! exd4 7 O-O! Can Black successfully accept the offer to permanently retain the Pawn with 7 ... d3+ 8 Kh1 dxc2 or does this lose? I looked at the variation and it seems after 9 Qxc2 Black is in something of a really bad way; he cannot castle yet and cannot even play Nf6, for Bxf7+ regains the Pawn with apparently significant advantage to White in the open position with exposed Black King. But if 9 ... Bb6 10 Bxf7+ anyway, and after 10 ... Kxf7 11 Ne5+ Ke8 12 Nxg4. White's still regained the Pawn, and is he even winning? Natural development seems to lead to a disaster like: 12 ... Nf6 13 Nxf6+ gxf6 14 Nc3 Nc6 15 Bh6! Rg8 (the threat was Bg7) 16 Rad1! Qe7 17 Nd5! Qe5 (He already cannot avoid the loss of the Exchange, and Qf7 loses the Queen as well after 18 Nf6+, for Ke7 19 Nxg8+) 18 Nf6+ Ke7 19 Nxg8+ Rxg8 20 Qb3!! 1-0 (The threat is both Qxg8 and Qf7 mate, if Rg7 another Exchange is lost, and the only other viable looking defense Qe6 falls to 21 Qa3+ and mate at f8 in a few moves) |

| Jun-26-11 | | timhortons: I once saw moro playing this way at icc, not only that, he got all of those crazy lines which is off the book and he move very fast, to bad i only got a chance to observe him for few months, after 2008 if i remember it right, he stop playing, or if he is playing only in incognito account. morozevich is a very sicked blitz player.

| Oct-13-11 | | rapidcitychess: Uncommon openings are annoying for a "normal" player; They can trap the death out of you in rapid/blitz. And really there's no antidote other than taking your time, which can be deadly in a blitz game. -.- |

A bystander suggested that Zukertort was not thinking of the game but merely trying to form a mental image of the man who would open a game in that manner."> Zukertort won the game.
