Status: Declined

Reason: The balance between attack and defense is broken: in the first half of the game attacking is prevalent and is very hard to defend from, in the second half there is absolutely no attacking opportunities and an excessive defense. The position features little strategy at the high level and is too closed, has little variety and room for maneuvering, has an easy to achieve viable shuffling.

Wildebeest was able to Mate on the 2nd move, now it's harder to make potshots in the start with the ferz defending the grasshopper

@ChessMasterGS But the mate wouldn't be possible if all players gave their royal luft on the 1st move?

Still not beginner friendly if they don’t play the exact opening line to defend against M2…
