Grob's Attack II
Many Grob players enjoy the (self-)destructive nature of the opening. By immediately moving the g-pawn two squares ahead White is really saying:

I did a search for Grob. That's what the first Grob thematic said.

Wow I would like to, but as soon black is out of book and play solid moves, I am roasted.
I do not know when my opponent forces full center of pawns, c4 ripping-center move doesn't work etc.
I just do not know where to look for advantage when my opponent plays solidly.
1. g4 is for fun. It's not to be taken seriously. Just gamble with it and go for it Ivan. I haven't used it once here, and I am taking a chance too. 1. g4 d5 2. e3!?. That seems to be a brand new unexplored position. The possibilities are endless!!!

In fact I can blame losses on far superior opponents. I fear that a 2000+ will easiyl recognise possibilities, which are invisible to me 🙂

OK! I only just failed to win Grob I (Tournament 1667) having been eliminated by the eventual winner so maybe I could give Grob II a try.
