Bird's to Austrian (Pirc)
In a recent league game, the opening moves were 1. d4 Nf6 2. f4 g6 3. e3 Bg7 4. Bd3 O-O. At this stage, playing Black I wondered about the idea 5. e4 entering an Austrian style formation at the cost o...

Bird's From Gambit line
I have always wondered in this particular line of the bird's:
1. f4 e5. 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 5. d4 g4 6. Nd5 Bxe5 7. dxe5 Qxd1+ 8. Kxd1 Nc6 9. Bf4 I think white is now a little better... Started 05/20/08 at 20:36:55 by trw |

Further fun from From
Hey all!
Since one of the recent discussions on here pertained to exactly the line I found myself in earlier... Here's a game I just played on ICC (I have white, 30 10 time controls)...in th... Started 01/11/05 at 12:51:50 by nexirae |

Birds of a Different Feather
I am an avid bird player. I love the positions that it yields and I love the attacking play I gain a lot of the time. I take it very seriously when some one says after I win or lose, "Why do you play ...

Concealed From
1 f4 e5 2 fxe5 Nc6!? – what's the theory like on this nowadays? It's been twenty years since I studied it, but I've recently played it in two games as Black and reached very bad positions indeed:<br /...

Bird Players to learn from
I am starting to work on a database for birds opening and I am looking to add some of the advocates of it. Famous or otherwise. So far I have Danielsen, Nimzowitsch, Bird and Taylor. Does any one here...

Is it a dead Bird?
I'm a new convert to the Bird, and was hoping I might ask the forum for help. I like the positions I'm getting out of a reversed Leningrad, but I'm finding that an early g3 (at move 2 or 3) results i...

From's Gambit 4...Nf6
Replying to TomR's post on the Bird's opening in Daring defences to 1.d4.

What is the best answer to the Bird?
I am going to play within a few days against a Bird player. The Bird is not very popular at the highest level and has never been so, even when both World championship contenders were playing the Dutch...

Bird Repertoire
I've recently returned to Bird's Opening as a means of achieving positions less scrutinized by theory. Previously, this involved preparing a line against the From and hacking away at the Classical Bir...

1. f4 f5 ?
So now that I'm playing the Bird regularly, I've started running into this response occasionally.
Taylor's "Bird's Opening" book seems to think that the gambit approach (2. e4) is probably not q... Started 06/07/10 at 15:07:18 by Fromper |

Another Bird question
In playing blitz chess, I encountered an early Bf5 from Black that rattled me a little. I've seen Black regularly swing the bishop out to g4 or b7, but Bf5 surprised me. It makes sense, since it fig...

Bird of a different feather
In an earlier thread, John Cox advocated responding to 1 f4 with 1 ... f5. At the time, I dismissed this move as decidedly weaker, and I still don't put much stock in it, but thought I might share th...

Approaching the Bird
Hi all,
In a few weeks I have to play an important game with black against a strong player (dutch rating app. 2150) who seems to play 1. f4. It's a sort of must-win situation and as I fear he is ... Started 02/22/10 at 21:14:51 by René |

Current thought on From's Gambit 4...Nf6
I have tried the following recommendation for quite a while, according to Taylor's book on Bird's Opening -
1. f4 e5 2. fxe d6 3. exd Bxd 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. d4... This move is fine, and if White... Started 12/07/09 at 17:14:23 by BirdBrain « Pages 1 2 all » |
