I have recently taken a liking to the Grob opening, 1. g4, and I want to know if anyone has any tips or strategies that they would like to share for either black or white.  Smile

There is a chessbase file for free at chessville.com that covers the book 'Tactical  Grob'.  It has many attacking lines in it.  I use the Grob frequently in blitz games and score fairly well with it.  Mainly from the lines in the book.  If you search the forums there was a previous post about the Grob giving the link to this file.  Unfortunately I cannot post the link at this time.  Maybe when I get to work.

I put 421 Grobs on my home page at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/7378/grob.htm

I wrote a book on it a few years ago.  I may need to update my file.

bill, I'm working on putting mine into chessbase so I can send them to you, I hadn't forgotten, but had put that on the back burner.
