I just played a game in which White played g4 on his second move. The game began 1 e4 e5 2) g4 d5. I have seen the Grob in only a few games I played and I was prepared for the possible pitfalls of this gambit-type opening.
I immediately made a play to control the center, forcing White to reply.
The game continued
3) Bg2 Nf6
4) Nh3 Bxg4
5) f3 Be6
6) c3 Nh5
7) Qe2 Qh4+
8) Kf1 c6

10) Qxe5 Nc6
11) Qc7 Rb8
12) Qg3?? Nxg3+
13) hxg3 Qxg3
14 Kg1 Ne5
15) Resigns
I felt confident against the Grob. I thought my opponent erred in moving the g-pawn without follow through. Every chess player chooses a certain style of play, and I wouldn't recommend it to students. Feel free to post comments. Thank you for taking time to read this.
