Is this strategy really unbeatable?

I may be a pretty novice chess player.. but i know this information is a bunch of garbage!

Considering the current record of 0-5, I think we're going to reluctently call the strategy "beatable."

Yeah, error messages like "[Your opponent] won by checkmate".

Even Hans Berliner admitted it took him many years to develop The System. Maybe he played the game BEFORE he formulated his unbeatable strategy. For one thing, isn't his pawn wedge inverted? Shouldn't it be his central pawns that are most advanced? That's how I interpreted his post. And he didn't advance his king along with his horsies.  He also seemed to get the "hit" part of the hit and run right, but not the run.

lol at "horsies."

Just a warning, this system was patented by the Belgian army. The plan was to have their jets attack in this formation but lack of spares and later pilots made that they specialised in minesweeping. The system you describe is excellent but is not free for use. Be careful!!

By the way, could we get the hurt-heal boys to include this in their evaluation? Or perhaps we better not disturb them for the next nine years...

If this strategy is so great, how come you are 0-5 against opponents rated less than 1200?

The problem is that you leave way too many gaps in your positionthat are really easy to exploit.

"Yeah, error messages like [your opponent won by checkmate]"

Agreed.

I don't think BigChessMaster and his strategy should be criticized too much. A good player can win with any strategy under certain circumstances if he/she is given a chance.

BigChessMaster's strategy makes some sense and could probably work under the correct circumstances as long as your "pawn wall" is solid and your opponent doesn't know what you are going for (which they might). It seems like a simple "slow pawn storm" which could be useful if you have inflicted enough prophylaxis on your opponent so that a slow attack is enough to secure a point. Of course the strategy is not always usable, such as when you are under attack, and sometimes your opponent can force a few pawn exchanges and stop it altogheter.

No strategy is unbeatable. Still, the pawn wall could work against an unprepared opponent if executed correctly.

I don't think that Taimanov grasped the concept completely? You know the V for victory etc...

garbage

i mean, it just makes your pieces undeveloped i guess. and if your opponents manages to get behind the wall then you pretty much lost
