Some (tiny) steps have been taken towards CwDA opening theory. The page quoted below also has a link to a mini-tournament of CwDA games.

'The Paulowich Plan for playing with the Remarkable Rookies is very interesting.

My own first attempts at playing this army involved taking a cramped closed central position and suffering for a long while before winning; my second idea was to do a Halfduck Dance, which may work even though it goes against the general principle of developing weaker pieces first.

Pushing the b-Pawn so the WD can sit behind it is an interesting and creative idea; but in Paulowich-Aronson I'd instinctively prefer 3...a5-a4.

(My instinct could be wrong, of course.)' -- gnohmon [9 Oct 2001].

I found this comment by looking at a nonindexed page on this site: Recent Ratings and Comments, which actually covers old comments from [27 May 2001] to [31 Mar 2002]. This list is also available in another format: alphabetic by variant name, where you can more easily find the 1st Email Championship Chess w... comments. NOTE: the page name on the left links to the main page, while the three blue dots on the extreme right link to the comments.
