Anderssen's Supermodern Attack

You're right that it definetly wasn't the opening that won it, but I decided to put it up there.

Okay, I'll start the systematic analysis of this wonderful opening.

First of all, the supermodern attack vs 4 central pawns:

Here 5.Nc3 looks to me like one of best moves and 5.Nc3 d4 6.Nd5 is probably the main line.

Supermodern attack vs 2 central pawns + 2 knights:

Here 5.Nf3 is quite good.

I played 3 games here in this variation with the score 2:1.

Yes, indeed, in particular. It can arise also as a variation of KIA (King's Indian Attack).

  from what i could see.. Black has gained Center because white likes playing Black.      whites Chessmaster must have been winning in games where he started at black and decided turning his White's First move and i better win, into a, well lets make this game fair... 

It's a funny old thread.

Off topic, bro.

When I play 1.a3, I intend 2.b5 and a typical polish transposition.  But 1.a3 g6 and I'm way out of my element so I stopped playing it for the most part.  I guess I could go for this setup after 1.a3 g6, but I might as well start 1.b5 if I'm gonna play the polish.  a3 isn't always necessary so why start with it, especially if your entire plan can be foiled with one move.  Again. like with 1.e4 a6, it's a mental thing.  People see it and get pissed and play crappy moves.  It's a way to get under someone's skin.

Bumping my awesome thread.
