We are not alone...


I was wandering the Internet the other day when I came upon an interesting blog -- HANGING PAWN :: Tip's Chess Blog sub-titled A Patzer's experiments with Engines and Unorthodox Chess Openings

Of course, what caught my eye was his information on the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), featuring computer vs computer games – http://hangingpawn.blogspot.com/2008/07/jerome-gambit.html

You might want to drop by the blog, though, because the author, Randy Tipton of Baltimore, Maryland, is researching and playing a whole handful of unorthodox chess openings, including:

Bird's Opening
Bird's Opening - 1.f4 e5
Bird's Opening - Hobb's Gambit
Bird's Opening - Sturm Gambit
Dutch Defense - Korchnoi Attack
Jerome Gambit
Nimzovitch Defense - Lean Variation
Nimzovitch Defense - Wheeler Gambit
Polish Defense - 1.c4 b5
Polish Defense - 1.d4 b5
Polish Defense - 1.Nf3 b5
