Alright, who's played it? 1.b4 - one of the funnest openings around. 🙂 Anybody ever used it in a serious game? I've used it a couple of times today in blitz, and every game has had black gain a comfortable advantage only to ruin it in the confusion the opening brings. 🙂

Originally posted by cmsMasterNever played it! Perhaps I should give it a try. Is it as good as the Grob (1. g4)?
