I suspect that some of the positions in this ongoing correspondence
game (PGN format below) have rarely been seen before, and although I
can't say I understand all the analysis, it seems to have some very
interesting ideas worth looking at, if only for their uniqueness. The
commentary below is abbreviated from the full analysis on the actual
game page. -Jestrada

1. Nh3 {Pacified Knight Opening, creating immediate modal opportunities
for White} 1...e5 {Standard VonFinkelstein reply, with the central
aggression needed for lateral shift in order to maintain tempo} 2. e4

temporal shelter to avoid post-knightal depression on h3} 2...d6 {The
expected book move} 3. Bb5+ {A temporary distraction for Black} 3...c6
{The Pawned Pelican, conceding an open Royal Bedroom but corralling the
knight on b8 with compensation in immobility} 4. Qg4 {Fawning an early
Loose Madame, but threatening a Backwood's Threat with the Pacified
Knight, and thus quite sound} 4...Qe7 {The Fawned Gambit Declined, or
Counter-Reformational Two Step, to preserve the Royal Commode and
future threats to f6. 4...Bxg4? is flawed after 5.Bxc6+ (with the
Royal Commode indefensible by neighbouring pawns) because of 6.Nd7
(6.Nxc6?! gains material, but leaves the f6 square without sufficient
defense once the light squares are unmoded), giving White the target on
b7, and the Pacified Knight on h3 is poised to complete the Backwood's
Threat after 7.d3!} 5. Ng5 {Sashimi Shiver Attack, a risky variation of
Kodama's Call of Nature, and anticipating the Kona Defense} 5...Qd7
{Houblon de Lapin, declining the gambit and enforcing the conditions of
the Phyrexian Paradox instead of opting for the Kona Defense}

Nick 'the feminist' pulled his step-through pushbike to the side of the
road long enough to opine:

Yes, yes, - but a magazine is clearly _not_ and 'a non-chess bk.' is not
_in the given sense_ a "novel"..

I have heard (from a player who has met her) that a strong American
woman player sometimes has read non-chess books or magazines
while waiting for her much weaker opponents to move in OTB games.

Isn't 1.Nh3 actually called the "Ammonia Opening"?

Well, not entirely. This SR Chess game is quite real, and is currently
in progress and viewable with complete commentary here:

It is not legal to open a book during OTB play, since you could be
getting helpful chess information from the book. This is true even if
it's a novel that appears to be unrelated to chess.
