Anyone have any good examples of this defence working?
I understand the theory, tempt the pawns forward then undermine the central pawns from the flanks,
but I'd like to see good examples of this, may help convince me to try it out.
Here's a bit of a wild game of my own finished recently, where I play White vs. this defence.
Wonder how many games has seen a King on his third rank by move 16, and seem quite safe.
