I can absolutely see nothing what should be wrong with the opening of the 2nd
game. after 5...c5 Blacks strategy is to play on the weak dark squares by means
of Bh6 or the interesting manoeuvre Qd8-b6-h6.
To say this opening is loosing is - to put it mildly - a bad joke. It may seem
so that some chess programms, who are used to play with an intact pawn structure
loose their balance when confronted with such kind of positions but from a chess
point of view there is absolutely nothing wrong with either side of the
position. It would be interesting to put this position to test in some computer
matches as in the Nunn test.
