Should it really only be played on the board, in short time control games? In a lower rated match is white more likely to win, while higher rated players with black pieces should defend it better and develop solidly?

Let's try to establish for ourselves what the limitations are for this opening.

Only 20 players in this tournament.

Good luck

Those 20 places filled incredibly quickly (much quicker than tournaments normally do) so I thank everyone for their interest and apologise to those who are coming to this page only to find there are no more places available. Had I known I would have created a larger tournament.
