A40 Unusual replies to 1.d4 (1.c4 e6 2.d4 c6)

I updated my post on C42 Russian Game: Three Knights Game by adding another game in there, just to let you know if you are interested in seeing more examples of that opening. This marks then I guess something strange, three updates in one day. Don't get used to it, this will not be occurring always. I am, however, trying to keep this two updates per day pace going for now. If there will be no posts at all and it has not been informed in this blog before, I am either dead, in coma or otherwise unable to access the internet... ;-) Until next time, my fellow chess enthusiasts.
