I'm really quite awful at orthdodox chess and oh how I wish it was otherwise.' Well, this stuff is unorthodox and is a good opening weapon to use against booked up players of Ruy Lopez, Sicilian Defense, Queen's Gambit, etc. But I am referring to players who get by on memorizing lots of variations but do not necessarily have good chess understanding. And Michael, you may be happy to know that Captain Evans, a chess amatuer, created the Evan's Gambit which took the chess world by storm and is still being played today. So, perhaps in a year or two we can see the Howe Gambit or the deadly Howe Attack? Time shall tell. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Chess Openings does not match any item.
