Originally posted by ShinidokiAgreed. The Grob is best left for OTB. I kind of like the Borg for black - 1. ... g5 which I think has more merit.
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

Of course, if someone wants to use a chess engine they will destroy it.
Perhaps this is a good test of whether someone is an engine (abb)user?
