Sokolsky/Polish Opening

NM Bryan Tillis talks about the Polish Opening, including his experience playing against it and what the most common lines are.
The Polish Opening is a rare opening that also goes by the names the Sokolsky Opening and the Orangutan Opening. It arises after the move 1.b4, and White attempts to grab some queenside space and fianchetto the bishop to b2 on move two, in hopes of launching a long-range attack. Despite being such a rare opening, it is not refuted and is very playable by both sides. Equal positions are likely to arise out of the opening.

Fun. I was just exploring the Birmingham Gambit response to the Polish Opening (1.b5 c4)the other day.

You simply must give my favorite line from Opening Oddities on the Polish: 1. b4 c6 2. Bb2 a5 3. a3 axb4 4. axb4 Rxa1 5. Bxa1 Qb6 6. c3 Where White begins to regret his opening decisions.

the most awful tutorial that I saw, just talking about nonsense instead of the tutorial itself
