Originally posted by !~TONY~!Oh wow, awesome game! Both kingsides seem to get really messed up in this opening, and it seems extremely tactical, awesome play. Great job too, kind of funny after about 20 or so moves when he's clearly dominated 😀. I'm definitely going to have to give this a try - that is if anyone will ever play the Sicilian against me. 🙁
Haha, I just played this game. All around humorous. He refused to resign, so I started screwing with him, but you can tell when that starts to happen. I thought I was pretty much better the whole time, then I just got sick on him.

[Black "SilentRain" ...[text shortened]... early that's what he is gonna start doing when he sees you play Rg1.

Obviously in a 3+1 you don't have much time to think, but looking at it now, if you had the choice would you still play g5 in that position or would you prepare it with h4? g5 seems to have the advantage of offering a super active and insane position, but of course, it cost a pawn.
Very interesting line. I can see using this to get out of learning a whole bunch of opening theory when playing OTB. I love the g4 Keres Attack lines, though I once walked into a trap in a correspondence game against one of the guys who helped write "Beat The Sicilian III", hehe. I was quite surprised when he tells me to look at the name on the Keres chapter...
I am going to try this out a little, see how it works as I am planning on playing some OTB for the first time in a looooooooooong time later in the year/early next year.

I would be more than happy to play a few unrated games (that way we can cancel, go back etc) against you using this opening. I'm not a real fan of the Najdorf but i've played it enough times to know the themes
