I wouldn't say that the Ware is unsound, but unorthodox - he has gained queenside space, and can play comfortable moves that make a4 a good choice - advancing the a-pawn is common in openings like King's Indian and Dutch.  You could continue with his plan and have a comfortable development, seeking for a later battle - plus a4 becomes useful as a thorn in the queenside.

move 30 was impressive

Off the Wall indeed!

This is the 21st century update of Steinitz's provocative-moves play :)

A few years ago I had loved the 'knight moves' and the grob games from Bill Wall's site [i still do, but ykwim - the past/present-tense thing in english - sometimes very annoying!]

- and now Wall has progressed to winning-with-1. a4  :)

 

I like how you win with so many unsound opening systems.

You've obviously been checking out the Games Explorer.  I hadn't heard of the Ware till I saw it listed there.

That opening has to be at least as outrageous as the St.George that Tony Miles perpetrated on Karpov in 1980.  I'm sure Karpov only lost because he couldn't stop laughing.

Thanks for the illustrative game.  It's interesting to see what can be done with that sort of thing.  Just the same, remind me not to challenge you to a game any time you get serious! 

did u calculate re1+ before re7?

Great game thx. Certainly a Bill Wall can make this opening work... I think an Oginschile would suffer badly. But the discovered check there at the end was sweet.

Wow, what a crazy wild game. Fun!

Rxe7! was really nice...

 

Thanks for sharing it.
