A very fine game. Fortune favors the brave... playing 1. b4 against a player rated 200 points higher than yourself could be considered suicidal... but if it works... it's considered brilliant.
Tanyo is a "1.d4" player. I believe 1.b2-b4 is played only to put the opponent off the book. I like this game very much. Still I'm not sure "where" exactly white won it :). This kind of games is my favorite.
b4, Bb2 its called Polish opening. Dont see many people playing that, but i will surtenly look into it. Seems odd and interesting:)
I have a piece of paper with what I'd like to think is the refutation to the polish on it, but I don't want to publish yet. If anyone wants to trade a theoretical novelty or unknown line, let me know.
I nearly always play the Polish ( Sokolsky/Oran-utan ), I'm still learning & improving, it's a great opening!
