Secrets of Opening Surprises

Apr-19-03    Bears092: White has 2.5 more wins than black here. Any openings with similar (or better) percentages for white? Apr-19-03    ksadler: Benoni, Classical, 9...a6, 10.a4 (A74) for one...I'll keep looking (although there are just a handful of games in that line) Jan-20-07    DutchDunce: Anyone know why 4...dxc4 constitutes a QGD Vienna, rather than simply a transposed QGA? I assume there's some technical nuance that distinguishes the two openings, but I don't know what it is. Jan-20-07    paulalbert: <DutchDunce> I think it only becomes a Vienna after White plays 5. e4. Paul Albert
