Nc3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 4.f3...), King's Gambit, Owen's Defense, and so on. If that is the case with you, you may be interested in the Unorthodox Openings Newsletter (which I believe can improve your chess game as Masters often contribute games and analysis). UON 12 was 110 pages, UON 13 was devoted to the bizarre but powerful Halloween Gambit, UON 14 has a bit of a mix and is about 75 pages long. I just became the Senior Editor of this publication and you might want to check out issue #14 by sending an e-mail to the following address: It is free.

Most ChessVariants members I know are highly intelligent gamers and, when it comes to traditional Western Chess, may just happen to like this unorthodox aspect. In any case, great chess to all of you and best regards. -gkg Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Chess Openings does not match any item.
