Hello

Craig Jefferies (506-11554%ww4@tweekco.ness.com) wrote about the Ammonia
opening (1. Nh3) which lead me to discover a set of openings which I have
Christened the "Global Warming" openings as the move seqences define
hydrofluorocarbons, which can damage the ozone layer. There are several move
sequences which fit into these opening. Here are a few.

1. c3 f5 2. h3		C F H		pentafluoropropane opening
			 3 5 3

1. c4 h6 2. f4		C F H		fluorobutane opening
			 4 4 6

1. c3 h5 2. f3 		C F H		trifluoropropane opening
			 3 3 5


I wouldn't bother playing them - they don't look all that good. In fact, as
openings, they stink!


David

OK then, 1. h3 c6 2. f3		1,3,5 trifluoro benzene

		  H
		  |
		  C
		 / \
	    F - C   C - F
		| O |
	    H - C   C - H
		 \ /
		  C
	          |
		  F

definitely harmful to your ELO rating, but may keep the mosquito population down too :-)
