Hello Heinz,

This is an excellent idea! I truly believe that today's programs can enhance
opening theory in rare lines. I myself have successfully used in
www.net-chess.com ideas that I had seen in Movei's games with 1.b4 (in the WBEC
tournament a few months ago).

I also like the Elephant Gambit for Black, although I admit it is rather
unsound.  I believe Maroczy was the first great player that used it at the end
of the 19th century. The Elephant Gambit goes 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5. It would be fun
to watch how programs handle these positions.

Regards,
Christos.
