 Subject: The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit
Message:
This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening. I know it's probably not sound, but it really is a fun opening. And it was used successfully by no lesser of a player than Lasker.

really interesting opening even though some moves look funny but then you understand they have a purpose.

Probably equalize on move 3, since bl has been permitted to play a move he should not have been able to get in without penalty...
I love the Albin on both sides. It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :)

... I can think of worse ways of getting your jollies! I never knew the line was so replete with possibilities.
Must try it some time...
