The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening. I know it's probably not sound, but it really is a fun opening. And it was used successfully by no lesser of a player than Lasker.

sf115 Probably equalize on move 3, since bl has been permitted to play a move he should not have been able to get in without penalty...
I love the Albin on both sides. It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :)

A very pawnographic debut... ... I can think of worse ways of getting your jollies! I never knew the line was so replete with possibilities.
Must try it some time...
Cheers,

albin ... Take it for granted that a bad word has been said which does not show up on the screen.... for I saw a real interesting Albin annotation and been awhile, Ive forgotten exactly where. I think it was on Silman's site.
Anyone been to it?

It can't be all that bad. Morozevich has been winning with the Albin.

and .... Morozevich IS my Hero~! I think probably the highest rated player I have seen be as
adventurously innovative & into new ideas that can be really far out ...but they generally work
out, tho maybe walking a fine line. Perhaps its just that on one else understands or expects
them~? For eg getting hit with an Albin Counter-gambit. But really looking back, even Max
Euwe, despite his win against it, can't say it didnt give him a thinking game. Thanks bogg, I'll
have to look at some of those Moro's!
