help in practicing The Pole?

Sort:
Arthuian

If anyone has some time/interest in the Polish Defense (I'm playing the General Defence variation at present so I'd like to go over the Polish Gambit: Accepted) 1. d4, b5 2. e4, Bb7 3. Bxb5... It seems to have a shocking deviation from the typical opening and raises questions not commonly explored in [e4, e5/Queen's pawn] openings. let me know! teachers, neophytes, and peers are all welcome!

well, u will learn nothing playing this.

To improve, u have to play natural openings, with usual positionnal play and tactical motives.

Here its just unusual, kind of mess were positions looks like nothing, except Sokolvski 1.b4 e5 2.Bxb4 Bxe5 but here tempo down so bad...

If u want to know a bit about this, work Sokolvski's opening then u will try to use the same type of position, but tempo down...

Really, to improve, best is to play "sound", i dont mean solid, but openings respecting general principles, and here, hum...

And no opening is too slow or risky to study. no two games have the same rhythm and it is not uncommon that the slower tempo leads to seizing the initiative at the right moment. so I should like to ask again- who wants to Ponder the Pole?

poucin what is wrong with sokolski? if you want i can arrange match of local v. gramagin to beat you in it. its quite sound, just leads to messy positions to which my friend is a genius....

@Hatty : i didnt write Sokolvski was bad...

And why should i spend my time to prove something?

1.b4 was the move i played to beat my first titled player! Laughing

But i played it just some games, not a very interesting opening in my opinion, a bit "limited".

X_PLAYER_J_X

I beat my first 2k+ with the move 1.b4 lol

Its not terrible

However, I never tryed it with the black side.

a bit limited? how? according v. gramagin its always something messy. i always loose to him and of course i shouldnt be its a disgrace. its what suits your style

1...b5?! isn't very sound, but if you played something like this, black has a pretty good position.
