Mexican attack is also playable

lol!

I would call your amusing line the Mexican double tempo gambit, but it would be insulting to Mexicans.

When he does a review on my book, I will.

Ask him, will he?

I will send him the book for free.

But before all, he should first have READ it, which, with some effort, takes couple of months for a thorough read.

Than he will need couple of years more to understand it.

So, just ask him, I will be glad to send him the book.

Btw., talking of 'The Secret of Chess', currently it is rock-bottom prices:

- 5 dollars for the Kindle edition

- less than 10 for the paperback, greatest value for money ever

- 0.0, FREE for the ebook, if you buy the paperback, or have bought it in the past

Anyone who has bought the paperback in the past, might download the ebook now for free.

Limited offer, no one knows when this changes.

Right, precisely the one I possess.

I solved it in milliseconds.

SF still struggles with it.

5. c3 instead of 5. e3 also leaves black with quite some advantage.

The position is double-edged and highly unusual though.

The black f5 pawn should stay there to guard the e4 square, f5-f4 is some lines is premature.

3. Nb5 instead of 3. Ne4(the more reasonable move) also leaves black much better.

I don't see any major improvements for white, do you.

This simply could not be good for white, loses couple of tempos.

Lyudmil_Tsvetkov: Imho your problem is that U are cocksure for nothing (as well as DeirdreSkye but in a different manner). Otherwise, I have no negative issues with your analyses. Just be simple and U will attract a lot of players (as Russians say: Будь проще и люди к тебе потянутся).

Thanks for the Russian proverb!

But I am a complicated person, what to do?

I wish I could have/offer the best of both worlds, but unfortunately that seems impossible.

 I still believe that the truth is beautiful and simple. 

Do U mean "koala" as in the top definition of the Urban dictionary ?!?

YouFreaking: Ah, okay, than it's closer to the meaning #3 :

Is this the Mexican Attack or the Koala Attack thread?

How would the Koala Attack look like?

Someone mention Mexican?  Orale Vato...

I seem to recall on a thread sometime back that there was no such thing as a Mexican Attack.

Most entertaining, but least popular since polls began  after WW2.
