I have no training in chess but I really love the game and I hope to learn alot from participating in this promising club. I would like to play a game as black, playing 1.d4 1.c5 2.dxc5 2. b6?? 3. cxb6 3. Qxb6 who's up for it!
buddyrevell 15-Aug-08, 20:56	I'm up! Hi, Max! Welcome to the club! Oh, and nice handle. =) That's an interesting gambit you want to play! Had never really seen it. Just looked it up and learned that it's called the Cormorant Gambit in the Benoni Defense: 1.d4 c5 2.dxc5 b6 (Mike, I couldn't find that opening in www.unorthodoxbishops.com) Anyway, the game's already begun. Let's get ready to rumble! =D gameknot.com
maxacre42 15-Aug-08, 21:23	ahhhh that's too bad! I couldn't find the name anywheres, so I was hopeing to call it, the Maxacre! Where did you find the name?
buddyrevell 16-Aug-08, 12:45	I found the name in the book "Unorthodox Chess Openings", by Eric Schiller. I don't own the book, only a sample of it, which was enough to compile the 300+ openings into a PGN file that Mike shared here. Here's the link for that thread: gameknot.com There are other variations with bird names in the Benoni: www.unorthodoxbishops.com And also other animals. =P
