Sokolsky Opening (Polish Opening) Resources
Wikipedia Page
The Polish Opening is a chess opening that starts with the move 1.b4. It is also known as the Orangutan or the Szczepanowski Defense. The Polish Opening is not a very popular choice at the highest levels of chess, but it can be a good choice for players who like to play offbeat openings and catch their opponents by surprise.
One of the main ideas behind the Polish Opening is to control the center of the board with the pawn on d5, while also preparing to develop the light-squared bishop. The move 1.b4 also has the added benefit of supporting the pawn on d4 and preparing to castle kingside.
