True - a good opening line which is favourale to crafty - and it could win even
with a 1 : 2 disadvantage :)
But it should be a good line - and this is like a jackpot - we cant count on
this ;)
On a even position - with lots of possibilities (not one of those dead drawn
boring opening lines) - it would be tougher.
If 1:8 just barely helps - then 1:4 is going to be a real challenge - also note
- it is going to be lower than 1:4 - not even 1:4
