So, 1.g4 seems very bad for white !?

Does the tournament shed light on what is the best defense for Black?

I noticed the unusual line 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Nc6 (or 1. g4 Nc6 2. Bg2 d5) seemed to be quite ok.

I've not experimented yet with trying to build an openings tree from the pgn, although Albert did explain how to do so.

I got the impression that White has little success against 1.g4 d5 2.Bg2 Bxg4 though.
