That it starts with 1.a4 has 0% chance, as a titled player i can assure you that. Most GM's will already buy a single Golden Gate in case 1.d4 appears to be better than 1.e4 For them i have good news too: "no need to buy that ticket" For you who is not daily busy with chess i have just 1 tip. Do not underestimate how good professional chessplayers are in chess. That you make an error every move you play doesn't mean they do. Instead they are very capable of judging objectively what's going on. It has happened that with diep there is openings where i have tried 150 different new attempts in order to find a new line that's simply white giving advantage. A GM team simply refuted it 1 by one. Some very important attempts of mine where a few GM's didn't manage to really refute it. They waited until for a tournament a Russian 2650 player was there. Then started analysis with him. He just needed 5 minutes to refute everything i came up with together with Diep. In the end i could not conclude other than that they were correct in that ONLY their line might give advantage IF any advantage at all. And that line they had already picked long before. You just have NFC how good those guys are. We're speaking about me trying to find novelties at moves 9..15, just forget it. Not gonna happen. Because those lines are relevant to Diep's preparement possibly in future, and even more relevant to the GM's i'll be the last to post here what and how. Certain corr players would be REAL happy knowing those conclusions. Vincent
