[BrianWall-ChessList] The Angry Carp by Robert Haines

[Brian Wall]

I worked with Master Robert Haines at the Hummingbird Camp in Jemez Springs, NM.
He likes to analyze without a computer. Robert is a fantastic postal player.
A few mavericks have tried the angry carp on me in the past. Robert likes good
cigars, beautiful sunrises and long walks in the woods.

      In the spirit of Animal Chess, I'd like to suggest an entertaining
response to the Ole Fishin' Pole.


       1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bg5 Nf6 4.0-0 Ng4 5.Ne5?!

         and now 5...Nce5 6.d4 Qh4 7.Bf4
         or 5...Nge5 6.d4 Ng6 7.c4

        I'll call it the Angry Carp. Not a real line, but a lot of fun
to analyse, and maybe useful in fast chess. I'll not give my analysis
here, but I think Black is better after a lot of non-intuitive moves.


       I suspect White's best answer to the Pole is 5.d4 ed 6.Bf4 Bc5
7.c3!? with enterprising play.

       Have fun.
