Feb-09-13  jerseybob: What exactly is 10.cxb5!? meant to accomplish? It diminishes white's hold on the center, increases black's, and finally ends up with white's knight on the rim, getting a trim. 10.f4! looks more to the point.
Aug-30-18  Saniyat24: didn't know there was a prickly pawn pass system...interesting...!
Aug-30-18  Parachessus: WOW! "Prickly Pawn Pass System." The longer and weirder the name of a chess variation, the more I like it. This is the best I've seen so far. This one really rolls trippingly off the tongue. The alliteration on the letter "p" is delightful.
