Where does this analysis come from? It's not taken directly from ECO is it? --Camembert

I am studying the Sokolsky Opening and I find that the moves I am going to type will be helpful:

1.b2-b4 2.c2-c3 3.d2-d3, or Ng1-f3 4.g2-g3 5.Bf1-g2 ---Now usually there can come an attack on the b pawn around this time or before it, using a2-a3 is helpful along with using Qd1-b3--- 6.Nb1-d2, or d2-d3 if you haven't done so already 7.Qd1-b3 8.0-0 or Bc1-b2 Then you can go from there. I've tested it against The Sicilian, French Defense, Modern Defense, Two Knight, and more...I have come up with a score of more than 10 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws. If you use this opening correctly, it can become a powerful tool. It is not used that much so it can through your opponent off somewhat, thinking you are a novice with a 1.b2-b4. Usually in the beginning of the game there might be futile attacks, or else you both develope. In the Middle game you usually defend the queen side and also do a pawn storm there as well. using the b4 pawn and pushing up your e pawn to e4 and have a3,c3,and d3 and great, along with your Knights and Queen and rooks, it has plenty of space for your pieces. In the end game, files c, e, and/or d may be open. Opening with the Sokolsky has rarely ever back fired. It is more interesting that 1.e4, d4, and c4, since I've played so much with them. I am no great player, but I do know some things. Try it out, you just might like it, as I do.
