Thank you.
From there I found Basmans book which I have ordered.
Players on RHP beware! I will shortly destroy you all with Grobs Attack!

As for your Grob, I would advise NOT playing it here.
The main "power" of the Grob is its "supprise"
however, seeing as we are allowed to use opening books your grob will be easily refuted
Originally posted by ShinidokiYes, but they have to buy the book!

Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugI suppose so! I haven't looked at on-line databases.
Or alternatively look at chessgames.com or other databases.
Still have a thing about books being better than computers and easier to use.
But I will give the Grob a try and if it loses so be it.
At least I will improve for OTB play!

My one and only game on here where I played the Grob. Talk about Wild n Woolly. Game 1647656
D
My only Grob so far is
Game 2188091
won on a timeout.
This game made me decide I really need to refresh my knowledge.
I think I have saved the final position but can I now win it other than the way I did? Why did he let it time out?
Your view appreciated.

His error was 19.g2
Instead, Nc5+ Kd4 (only move) Nf5#
g2 allows Kxd5, and g2 also hinders the queens movement.
as for the end position, I still think Black is better, simply because White's King is out in the open, and its far from a cozy endgame
Originally posted by ShinidokiAbsolutely. 19 .. g2?? was a blunder but I think the White King can get to safety in this final position after KXB. Can black force a win (a couple of pawns is forcing enough)?

Originally posted by Dragon FireIn the FINAL POSITION, I don't think a "Forced win" is in that position, however, I would say that black has ample compensation for the material....
