Amazing that Kasparov never thought of this.
I was under the assumption that he was pretty good at chess...maybe it's just me...?
I, since posting this, have delved deeply into openings...I still like castling queenside, but am more patient...I use Queen's Gambit most of the time, but for a defensive game I sometimes open with my King's Rook's Pawn. It throws off some of the people on my team, even the more experienced ones, and I can still utilize my style (I trade often and hard, and grab middle).
