Nov-30-04    Knight13: Nobody ever kibitzed? 6... Bd7 is the usualy responce. I don't see many people play the move f3. Dec-11-04    flandes: I encourage everyone interested in this opening to note the fact, that white has an incredible advantage in this opening as the results have shown that white wins in a majority of the games Dec-11-04    Milo: Flandes: White wins 40.4% Black wins 38.3% Draws 21.3% ??? Dec-11-04    euripides: A good club player once played 5 Qf3 against me. To my knowledge it's unique in chess history. Dec-11-04    Joshka: <euripides> Interesting move indeed, cannot find one single master game with it. What was your result when this was played agaisnt you? Dec-11-04    PinkPanther: Although it wasn't the Venice Attack, McShane played the Prins Variation against Ponomariov this year at Biel, 1-0. Dec-11-04    euripides: <Joschka> He got a nice position and lost. Sep-06-05    monopole2313: I've also seen Qf3 played, but only after Black castles K-side. Jun-15-06    KingG: Someone played this against me online today. It was the first time i remember encountering it, and i had no idea that it was a proper opening. As far as i can see, Black plays a quick ...d5 and has a comfortable game, or am i missing something? Nov-21-06    ongyj: <euripides> Could you post that game with 5.Qf3!? Also, I'll like to seek opinion on the idea of 5.f3. It's because White doesn't want to play 5.Nc3 which hinders queenside development(assuming he castles short), I mean White doesn't want the c3Knight to block his own c pawn right? Maybe, also because White doesn't want to tie a piece to defend a pawn. Defending a pawn with a pawn sounds more logical in certain cases. Of course, alternative 5.Bd3 isn't very popular as well. Thanks for clarifications. Apr-05-08    refutor: i agree with KingG about the quick ...d5 taking all the fun out of it for White. i was going to try it, but then played over a couple of games and it looks a lot "easier" for Black. when trying 5.f3 over the board i got a lot of 5. ...g6 which allows you to transpose to the Yugoslav of the Dragon which is good enough, but it also allows you to play a Maroczy Bind with 6.c4 where Black is stuck playing ...d6 in one move.
