About the Myers Polish Attack

The Myers Polish Attack arises after 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. a4 g6 3. b4. White ignores the center and pushes both queenside pawns. The b-pawn advance, typical of the Polish Opening, gains space on the side where Black's fianchettoed bishop will point, and the a-pawn stands ready to support further expansion. Black has developed normally and keeps a free hand in the center. The line is an unusual sideline with little established theory.
