A Glimpse At Alternative Openings

Ok, so we want an alternative opening...for whatever reason. Maybe for blitz, maybe bullet, maybe even OTB! (not horse racing :).

Where do you turn to? Most will not go very far in the search honestly. But many will, and they will turn to higher ranked players, namely the GM's on the major chess networks such as ICC.

I recently have been studying a set of openings that a very high ranking GM uses for blitz. His results are amazing, against great competition. What does this mean? A couple things.

1. The alternative opening is NOT leading to a winning position in classical chess!
2. The chosen opening DOES lead to LESS STUDIED ideas, leading to some advantage in blitz chess! (Time, psychology, tactics, etc...)
3. The Human Element: objective equality (computer assessment) doesn't equal REAL World equality ( more later).
   

It will be nice to explore many of these openings that lead to such positions that lead to complex positions that are assessed as simply =...

More next time, I have several ideas of chess openings that aren't so clear :)
