Bird vs. Nimzowitsch
A question for Bird players as well as Nimzowitsch players. After 1.f4 Nc6 i want to know black's best practical chance to play for the win. I have an interesting system i'd like opinions on.

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 ...
