	This line always reminds me of a game Corden-Gligoric from about 1970, which has been cited in various books over the decades as basically refuting 3. b4. I see that LeMoir's opponent played in the same vein, and surely stood better.

	I would not exactly call Eliskases a weaker player - Semmering Baden 1937.

	The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged. GC Lichtenberg

	Remember this from Keres' Best Games. He punted it a fair few times, though against weaker players. Good fun to look through his old games.

	I saw an interesting version of the Wing Gambit at the British Champs. Rnd 2; LeMoir vs Burrows saw: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.b4 As black, I don't think I recall much theory when facing the Wing Gambit, but I tend to throw in a quick ..d5. This move order looks like it might be quite annoying for some people prepared for 2.b4. I don't see any obvious downsides to White having included 2.Nf3 d6. Might be another Anti-Sicil line for Black to have to look at!
