But I must admit, the h4-h5 (white's first two >moves) idea is cute and anti-computer to the max... From what I know it was started by the account Chessbeta followed by Evilsilicon and Val-vipp now Valheru seems also to have taken to doing it. Tiger seems to repeat the same games over and over. Even as white Tiger is getting slayed by either 1 d4 or 1 e4....1.b6. One way for Tiger owners to avoid it seems to be using Gambit as it won't play the same moves as Tiger though I'm sure also that moves could be found to also get Gambit. Sarah.
