Subject: The Lion System

Message:
Hi there,

Has anyone played the Lion System similar in some ways to the Pirc or Philidore.
Apparently you can play it as black against almost any opening chosen by white.
I would be interested in anyone's views as it looks an interesting opening to adopt.
Black would play the following moves.
1---d6 2.---Nf6---- 3. Nd7--- 4.----e5 5.--- Be7 6.---O-O 7.---c6 etc.
Does anyone play this regularly ? What are the aims of this opening for the Middlegame ?

I look forward to your replies.

There was a thread about this quite a while back.

It seems the Lion is very playable and has a pretty decent record on GK.
I've been meaning to give it a try myself but ... so many openings; so little time... ;-)
