That reminds me of a question I wanted to ask for some time: I once read
(irc in the book of Fairbairn) that even if nearly all opening strategies
start with either P-7f or P-2f their are some which start by pushing a
side pawn. However, I have never seen any of those. Can somebody give an
example? I would like to give it a try just t osee what happens.
