I used to play it a lot, and did very well with it OTB, even against stronger players. But for some reason, I lose most of my online games. Go figure.
But it's still fun to play, maybe I should dust it off again.....

Hi
If i play white i love a certain opening......not sure what it is called....grob on queen side maybe?
Here is the basic gist...though depends what other player does of course....
pawn to b4, same pawn to b5.....bishop to b2.....pawn up 1 space to e3....then afterwards this possibly run the H file pawn as far as it will go.
I find I have had a quite good success with this opening.....it foxes people seemingly....particularly the pawn on b5....which can also be backed up with a4 if a trade is in the offing
if anyone wants to challenge me when i am white i will play it.
Cheers
