It was from a game I played last night - I have recently been testing out 2.b3 followed by 3.Bb2 (the Snyder Variation, named for USCF master Robert M. Snyder - it has been used occasionally by Nigel Short and is a favourite of Georgian GM Tamaz Gelashvili) against the Sicilian and so far it seems to be not too bad. 8-)
Now cracks a noble heart.—Good night, sweet Princess, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
