ANYONE PLAY 1 e4 g5 as BLACK HERE ? LET's DISCUSS!
Hi, everyone!
I am wondering if anyone plays 1 e4 g5, the so-called Macho Grob (Basman Defense), or Borg. What do you think of this opening?
Please give some lines to discuss. Thanks!

Andrew can you tell us if you are still writing some books for Batsford called
