The magazine works differently. This is the place for "edgy" ideas and theories. We're willing to take more risks, create more controversy, and allow people a place to propose some non-traditional ideas.

I think thats a good thing.

Barron's article basically said, "I took an unusual line that was somewhat risky, because of the opponent. And you should think about how you might do the same thing sometime"

That aspect of the article was great.

Unfortunately, the message that came thru to people after the posts/discussion seems to be more "given this opponent, my line is a good one". And in my opinion (like most others) this second piece is wrong.

But the core idea of showing an unusual line and why it MIGHT be good in a particular situation and what FACTORS that situation has is exactly the kind of edgy top quality thing 2+2 SHOULD be doing.
