Is this a variant, or is it in a different notation?

The whole line is just losing. White's position is already very bad after 7...Nbd7, and going for the a7 pawn with lagging development and numerous weaknesses is simply suicidal.

12. nc7 is much better.

Wow, I will start playing only the Grob's ... I see the light ...not !?

Now that there is a thread on the Grob, what do people think of this exchange sacrifice for black?

In my view this refutes the entire concept of the Grob, as the opening would be meaningless if it were not for the threats with the fianchettoed bishop. After the exchange sacrifice, black has the bishop pair and white will struggle activating his 'extra' rook with the king in the centre, so I think black's compensation is quite clear. The computer is giving black the advantage, but suggests white should decline the sacrifice:

What for?

Sure, white has great compensation (which may be even greater after 3...d4!? instead of 3...dxc4), but white's position is a horrible mess in the main line after 3...c6 (see post #5).
