More on the du Chattel's System
Starting from 2005 to 2011, I played about 30 tournament games where I used the du Chattel's opening system involving an early Nh6 move as Black. Mostly my opponents were rated between 1450 and 2000. They played various White systems. Surprisingly none of them played the system I feared the most: 1.e4 Nh6 2.d4 g6 3.h4!? See diagram
