To easy!
b4 b4
i feel there's potential in b4 and you just have to know how to play it!
just like that?
I never use to open that way but I will try that. But what is the othere move then{white} ?
Push the pawn to b4 and end of story,Black will find himself scrtahing his head,lol!
chess champion, white is not on the defence, but the b4 pawn is a form of sacrifice (in a way), i have pawn that cannot be well protected, but i got a fiancettowed bishop and a lot of freedon to act stupidly without you doing a thing untill the endgame or so...
Totally agree with Chess_Champion26.
Viva La Polish~!
Yep,it's called"how to bambozelle your opponent with The Sokolsky"!
There's a whole book on how to play b4!
I find the Polish(Sokolsky/Oran-utan)opening very good,it has refreshened my game of chess and given me many an interesting parties!
According to ChessBase, in master level chess, out of the twenty possible first moves from White, 1.b4 ranks ninth in popularity. At the same time the opening has never been popular at the top level. This opening is also known as "Orangutan Opening". The name "Orangutan Opening" originates from that game: the players had visited the zoo the previous day, and Tartakower had consulted an orangutan there about what move he should open with the next day.
i am new here and try to explore the opening
