Play The Transvestite Attack!

A revolutionary new method for black - resulting in such surprise by white that he will often lose track of the game completely.

It is called the transvestite because the male and female pieces are swapping roles.

I know a guy who is now about 2250 fide who used to frequently beat people with this opening as white and black.

Now all we need is Korch to state that the Tranny is "perfectly playable at club level", Dragon Fire to post a conclusive win against a 1200 and this thread will be complete!

That's nice and all, but I prefer this...

If anybody is up for it - I will play it in a blitz game so that we can see it working in practise.

I bet Russ is regreting given us this PGN moving thing.

I see that black is loosing some tempo in development and also the possiblility of castling. I think that if you have 300- 400 more rating points then your opponent, then it is quite playable...😉

Damn...so al those elementary puzzles that show this position and say "spot the mistake" are wrong...generations of chess players have been misinformed.

Here it is. 5 minute Blitz. My opponent's p1200 with a 100% record (played 1, won 1). Clearly strong.

i used to try a thing like it for jokes, going c3 and f3, trying to switch them on the outside.. leads to nice self mutilation..
