I find it fascinating looking at Weyerstrass's games, that he has a tendency to develop his kings knight to the 2nd rank (both in English as white, and French as black), and a willingness to weaken f3 or f6 by pushing both the e and g pawns. These are things that with my scattered gleanings from various books and such I try to avoid - not really knowing why. I almost always put the N on the f-file! If I play the e pawn, why would I then play the g pawn as well - I already have a place to put the KB. Any comments on "non-standard" development welcomed!
