Crazy prep! Gonna study and play this now haha

This is of course just one line and you need to know other responses that Black can come up with as well. However, it is a pretty powerful prep once you get the Queen to b4. I used it to beat a strong GM in KCF University Cup this year in Rapid.

​@@KooshaJaferian I don't expect this studying to be easy, but with your seal of approval, I am confident that the benefits will pay off! 😁 Also, nice win against Macieja in the KCF tournament!

You are only 2200 and you "drew" hikaru?!?! That is insane!

[@KooshaJaferian]

That's my Rapid Rating! I don't play Rapid on chesscom. But my Blitz is 2700 and my Bullet is 2800 on chess.com

@@KooshaJaferian OK. That makes more sense.
