you has to like risk if you play grob !
and have good nerves !
Also, even if it is not recommended to play grob, I think it's a real very good way of trainig.
let's look at this on : My oponent is a 1551 ELO, I'm just a poor 720 ... |
|
|
1. e4 g5
|
black reversed grob... |

|
| |
|
|
2. d4 h6 3. h3
|
this is a lost tempo, there no interest in playing h3 at this time. |

3... Bg7 4. Nf3

NOT GOOD !
first : the danger is g5 g4, instead of the pawn in h3,
second : it is not necessary to protect h4 for the moment
white play denfensively, they should attack !

5... Qa5+
|
let's take back my pawns ! |

|
| |
|
|
6. Nc3 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Qxc3+
|
first... |

|
| |
|
|
8. Bd2 Qxc5
|
second ! |

|
| |
|
|
9. Bd3
|
preparing castle ... |

|
| |
|
|
9... Nc6
|
preparing attack ! This is the grob philosophy. |

|
| |
|
|
10. Be3 Qa5+ 11. Qd2 Nb4
|
now i feal the fear : this is very risky.
I play it to quickly whithout thinking, just intution ...
knight take c2, king has to go, then i exchange queens and win the a rook... |

|
| |
|
|
12. O-O
|
so now the problem is coming, i'm nailed ! |

|
| |
|
|
12... g4
|
this was just searching to win time a maybe to make an oportunity to get out of this stupid trap i put my self |

|
| |
|
|
13. hxg4 h5
|
you see the oportunity ?...
if g4 x h5, then qxh5 and mat is coming
if not, h5 x g4 and then i exchange the knights...
well, i hope ! |

|
| |
|
|
14. a3 hxg4
|
this is my plan
but it seems to be better instead !
lets forget the b4 knight and put my queen in h5 ! |

|
| |
|
|
15. Nd4 Qh5
|
so ?
...
yes, it'mat anyway !
In my opinion, this is a perfect exemple of what kind of good games occurs whith grob |
