Yeah, I like it too, but black played poorly in these examples...

1. b4 e5 2. Bb2 f6 3. e4 is a nice gambit line... you just ignore the loss of the b-Pawn and play as if it was an e4/e5 opening where Black played the strange f6 move.

Why not 9. f5?

Very good games. But difficult to play.

Playing this opening is like walking a tight rope

9. f5 with 10. Castles looks awesome.

anyways, was the knight safricife corrent? somehow it does't feel right. I don't have a chess SW on this PC - can someone tell? I think after7. - Bg4 following Be7 and Rf8 black would stand better.

Anyways, GG.

The problem is, these examples are 1/0 bullet games.

You actually deviate from the theory of this opening after move 2 where it is quite obvious you're not following the strategy of the Polish / Sokolvsky Opening of a massive expansion on the queenside; you're just playing hope chess, where you're relying on a blunder in the short time control.

In the 1.b4 e5 lines, 2.Bb2 is equalizing and better for black as 2...Bxb4 3.Bxe5 Nf6 allows black free development; because the only way you can kick his bishop is with a3 or c3 which does nothing to give you any options. However, black can hit your bishop with Nc6, developing with tempo, or d6 which gives him development potential for his light-squared bishop, again with tempo.

13... Kxh7 g6 pawn prevents bishop from controlling h7

1.b4 I think doesn't achieve any principles in the opening only the placing of Bishop on b2.

I saw White's plan here is to attack menacingly on kingside and Black's tries to counterplays on the center. However, it was good game!

I'm righthanded, so 1.b4 is a very bad choice for me in 1/0 bullet. The right strategy in that type of errr... chess is playing all sort of bullshit as fast as you can. A super mouse can inflate your rating by at least 100 points. You don't even have to know the absolute basics of the game.

Yes you are right in your assesement with respect to mouse,but I beg to differ with respect to quality of game in bullet chess as I have come across some extremely sharp tactical gameplay under 2-0 time limit

I play that too! Only on 15|10 settings and 30 occasionally. 

I always win, strangely.
