Hi Bigler,

honestly we do not expect 1.b4 proving to be a killer move or maybe on one level
with 1.e4 or 1.d4. We will get some novelties and maybe we can use them to
surprise our opponents in Blitz and tournament games rather than in
correspondence chess.

And after all this move is still interesting and neglected a bit by chess
theory, although I have two books in my collection dealing with it, one sritten
by Sokolsky.

Best Regards
Heinz
