THE ORANG-UTAN OPENING
aka. The Polish or Sokolsky Opg.
A "tolerably good opening" (Gerald Abrahams, The Pan Book Of Chess), dedicated by Tartakover in 1924 to an ape he once conversed with! As in most flank openings White plans to control the centre by indirect play (usually here with 2.B-QKt2) though he/she stands more chance of undermining Black's centre with a Reti. Black, if proficient, should easily equalise. W-Alt.
	White	Black
 1.	P-QKt4
BLACK to Move or Undo or Jump or Clear
