The knowledge I gain here will go along way towards my inevitable rematch with the guy that made me a 1600 rated player look like a beginner. Hopefully we will all learn something from this rather intriguing position. And have fun to boot.

After getting my arse whupped real good, I decided to start a tourney to explore different lines against this opening. I was black when i played and got beat by somebody on this site who is undefeated at 95 games. This leads to a very open game in most lines i looked at.
