An article with "Suttles Chess" motivated this idea.
Does anyone have anecdotes of chess styles of famous
players that could intrigue us?
My favorite strange chess style to see was that of
Duncan Suttles, once Canadian champion. He actually
published a game in an Informant some years ago,
where he took a kings-castled position and rearranged
his pieces so that his pawns would be on f7, g6, and h6,
his king on g7, and his rook on h7.
His opponent must have become bored, for he started
attacking Suttles' K side, allowing the once misplaced
rook to free itself. I almost thought Suttles made this
game up.
Favorite opening suggestion: Ludek Pachman suggests
that the best response to 1 b4 by white is 1 ..a5 .
