Many times people don't see these openings for a reason,it is because they are not concidered strong or are just bad.

cxb4 is good, not great, in your line white was the one who played like a lunatic, I mean forgetting e.p?!?!? but yeah, black is still winning
Play unfashionable lines in unusual openings. Then find an unusual idea. Then play it. Then you have your own opening.
Wow Joey, thank's for being a troll. Anyways, why would white play a4, why not play e3 like I recommended, but you're trolling so I guess you wouldn't even look. Btw, I have already stated that b4 might not be a very good move, and e3 might be better on move 4, but you all don't listen to that either.
Honestly, you suck at chess.
Oh yeah, you're definetly not a troll. Anyways, 4. b4 was an aggressive shot, I didn't sit there for hours analyzing it. Obviously you have proven it isn't a good try, and I recommend 4. e3. You have ignored that, because you are just trolling...
Honestly, you suck at chess.
I have already posted that 4. b4 doesn't work, but you still go on about it. So yes, you are a troll.
um, its a rather useless pawn, plus where does the queen go after Rb1, to a3 just like in the PP Najdorf
Jetfighter, in the endgame when yhou have no pawns and your opponent has one which he is going to mate you with, that "useless" pawn becomes pretty important. And joeydvivre, you didn't prove crap. I already had recommended e3, but yet you still go on about something from a while ago.
In all seriousness, we have proved an advantage for black in all the lines you gave (particularly in the first one, where white is dead lost in the position labeled as "clearly dominating"), and then michael decided to offer you a precious advice. Unfortunately you seem unable to seriously accept polite and constructive criticism. There is a precise positional reason which makes this attempt to play a "reverse italian" harmless at best.
