All very anti-positional. I may not understand this position, but how can an open line directed at the opeonent king be on the wrong side of the board? White is at least +/= . And how can opening up in front of your own king be right for white? As I said, it may be I do not understand, but playing on kingside for white looks like plain suicide to me!
