I always write the name of the opening underneath mine and my opponents name. The other night I played a game and I don't know what to classify the opening as, can anyone help? It started off 1.d4 Nf6 2.e3 g6 3. c4 Bg7 4.b3 d5... ( I was playing black) It's not really a KID is it as there's no Knight on C3, should I just mark it down as a miscellaneous? |

| loreta 11/06/2003 21:57:29 [ report this post ] | my 2 cents Message: It could go to some (unusual) lines of KID, Larsen's opening or it's (as to say) 'miscellaneous' |
