3rd millenium chess : Julius vs Ken

Oh oh, so I am falling right into your preparation. You're not so innocent after all.
The only thing I've been able to dug out from my books is the game Karpov-Miles won by black. So 1 ... a6 has already beaten a world champion, I should take care. No transposition intended, indeed.

Don't worry Kcbob, it's just psychological warfare once again. One of the strongest player in my town sometimes plays 1 g4 and when he is in a strange mood he might play 2 h4. And once, my 1 e4 was answered by 1 g5, so I learned it was called the Basman, the Spike with 1 more move for the opponent.
But nobody had ever played me 1 a6. Doesn't look that bad when you look more closely at it.

Well, I'm talking and talking but that's not all. Right now I am at school and if I can still see this one blindfold, I'd rather get back home and put it on a chessboard before playing my next move. I think, Smash played 5 ... Bb4 too carelessly in the last game and put himself in a difficult position straight away.
I'm not going to let that happen. "Young and Hot player ?". Not exactly young and rather cold ...

In Sweden this opening is known as Norwegian Opening or, alternatively, The Idiot.

BTW, this thread is growing fast. I looked for several days for the next game and found nothing. Then all of a sudden 30+ replies...

Carolus

[Smash]

In North America it is called the Saint George Defense.

ROTFLMAO!

I had to read this reply twice before I began to truly appreciate the wit contained therein.

Julius,

I noticed that you carefully avoided following Karpov's line of 5 Qe2 or the even better move for my purposes of 5 e5 -- 6 a4. Good job of keeping those front line legions focused on the mission. The barbarian confederation is patient however, and just waiting for the guards on Ceasar's tent to start nodding off.

The barbarian confederation shall not wait any longer, my next move is e5 ! I know of the Karpov game, but of nothing else, concerning your sub-owen, eh Carolus no Scandinavian name for that one ? I just play quietly, "à la Kramnik", knowing that a draw is enough to defend my title. But if I see an opportunity, I will go for it !
