nonsense.
a3 is important if you want to change into BDG. After 3...dxe you can play
4.Nc3 Nf6 5.f3 exf3 6.Nxf3 and play the usual BDG stuff.

nonsense again.
it depends (if you talk about computerchess ?!) that the programs can play a
gambit situation (the chess program that is too materialistic CANNOT play a
gambit opening good).

no.

not for ANY. for those that understand chess.
The idea is to force a special opening, to get many advantages:

1. you throw the opponent out of book
2. you get positions you know the program you run it understands
3. the other program maybe does not understand how to play a gambit

programs i would try gambit opening lines are hiarcs, shredder, the king of
course, mchess, ...

i don't have the time in the moment because i am doing my 15 rounds swiss
tournament, that will take a while :-))

but we can later do something when the tournament is ready.

left is the fact that when 1...e6 is played, you need to play a3 , otherwise the
bishop pins the knight and you don't get the positions you like to get.
