[D]r1bqkb1r/1ppp1ppp/p1n5/4p3/B3n3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQR1K1 b kq - 0 6 The standard move is d4 here, but my thing wants to play Re1 and thinks it's quite a bit better. My book has nearly no games with this, so I looked in the full database to see whether this has been played before. It has, very occasionally. Mostly by lesser players, which isn't exactly encouraging. However, the last 2 games with this in my database were: PARSOS-IKARUS, WCCC 2002 Maastricht XINIX-IKARUS, WCCC 2002 Maastricht To add to the coincidence, even though Ikarus was involved in both games, the Re1 move is whites. So this means that both ParSOS and XiniX chose to play the 'odd' move at the exact same tournament. -- GCP
