The Bombastic Bird's - an energetic and exciting repertoire after 1.f4
Welcome to the Bombastic Bird's, a revolutionary repertoire for one of the most enterprising and underrated openings in chess theory (1.f4). In this series, IM Lawrence Trent uncovers a number of groundbreaking theoretical novelties and new ideas that will soon have scorners of this romantic system regretting they ever doubted its soundness.
Make life difficult for the Sicilian! 2.b3 is a thoroughly venomous but still solid kind of "Anti-Sicilian". No matter what setup black chooses, the bishop on b2 will always be unpleasant for him.
I'm wrapping up Batavia as there's nothing else super-interesting happening (the Women's GP games yesterday were rather dull.)
We'll look at my game vs the legendary Manuel Bosboom!
But first: Warakomski-Trent, here I expected my opponent to play 51.♔c3 but instead he confidently played ♔e3. I reacted with 51...♚f6, but was this the best reaction? How should the game finish after both 51.♔e3 and ♔c3?
