The king realizes that his "Discovery" card is maxed out & steps outta line with 36. Kh4 & ++'s....well kinda. The black queen tries to come to the aid of her boyfriend, but it doesn't really help.
LOL that was actually hilarious
That was a very nice masterpiece. You gotta be very good to make that kind of game, Fischer!
Amazing work by Fischer's wannabe, isn't it, Mech?
But I think the NFA is a tactic rather than an opening.

It's a Benko sub-sub line- the one in #9.
The name was given to it by FM Graham Burgess in a booklet he has authored on it 20+ years ago.
It's an interesting attacking line, but since then it has been completely defused.
But why is it called Nescafe Frappe??
