Annotated by kingstuart (1200): Birds Opening Standard responce. most players will revert to basic opening principals when facing an unfamiliar opening. this move is follows those principals pretty well. Whites plan is to control the central dark squares with both pawns and his fianchettoed dark square bishop the position is now a reversed dutch setup. this must be good for white as this is totally playable as black, white… |

Annotated by bittersweet_ballad (1200): I am very unfamiliar, and often uncomfortable with black when facing f4 or c4. I didn't use any opening book or database, and just played what felt right in the opening. I'm not sure where we left book, but I guess it was pretty early. Probably dubious.

Annotated by kingstuart (1200): this move characterises Birds opening and is alot better than it looks. whites usual plan is to control the central dark squares with moves such as e3, Nf3 and Bb2. it also has surprise value which, in over the board games such as this one, comes into play. i decided to play this against my young (14ish) opponent so to test his knowledge of the opening not just his opening theory which most rely … |
