Guys lets talk about the sodium attack and its variations. I had real fun playing it in live blitz.

Doesn't the Sodium Attack go something like this?;

At that point you actually (believe it or not) have some attacking chances on the flanks via c4 or f4. Tell me if this is it, because I have only seen it a few times.

I have played this a couple of times. After 1. ...d5 I planned 2. c4. Then after:

2. ...dxc4 3. Nxc4 we might end up in a regular Reti accepted (if White plays Nf3, Ne3, g3 etc)

2. ...d4 I intended to set up with d3, g3, Bg2 and Nc2 where the Knight is actually doing some useful work pressuring d4 and helping out with b4 advance.

2. ...e5 I think I had planned e3.

After 1. e5 there are actually some master games to follow.

After e5 2.Nc4 is worth considering, and after 2...Nc6 3.e4.

Sodium attack is very cool!

look at my wins, it's like throwing a piece of sodium into your opponent!
