Nov-09-03  Diggitydawg: When I saw IM Basman's opening against a strong GM, I was ROFLMAO :-) Basman appears to be the leading proponent of the Borg Defense, which is the opening of the day. An example of Basman winning with that line is shown here: Speelman vs M Basman, 1980 I think that Speelman was too overconfident in that game (by allowing his R to be exchanged for a N). Patzer2 gives a good analysis of the Borg Defense here: Claus Stovring vs Kim Linde Petersen, 2001
