re:Basman and 1.g4 - 2006/12/02 08:41
I have it here in front of me. ISBN 0-931462-86-X
Bill gives the lines names, for example after your 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 c6
He gives the main line as 3. c4, and a) 3 g5 The Spike b) 3 h3 The Short Spike c) e4 [un-named]
and follows by illustrative openings by Grob-Bischoff, Grob-Spielraum,
Bloodgood- H. Evans, Grob-Denring, W Clark-K Jones, Grob - Silberring,
Bloodgood-Meyerhofer, Grob-Branner, Gron-Wild, Bloodgood-Lweis,
Fewell-Phillips, Grob-Roesler, Bloodgood-Lundy, Dubini - F. Larsen,
Dubini-Pannullo /just for those lines/; earliest dated game is 1958, latest
1981, from pages 64-66 of an 84 page booklet.
O! I note that I have stolen this book from The Reverend Philip Gustafson 
It was Published by Chess Enterprises in 1988
Coraopolis, PA.
Publisher is B.G. Dudley
Copyright 1988
The games index offers a few 'names' like Basman-Keene, and Basman-Miles,
Duckworth-McCambridge, Koltanowski-Love, but is not complete, and looking at the games themselves there is also Basman-Botterill, a number of Indian players, and Krnic-Ermenkov, Graz 1982, for example.
I think this is as good or a better book than Basman's for game scores, but has much less commentary and annotation - but why don't you write a more comprehensive one?
Cunliffe and Bob Dudley for material contributions, and to Geoffrey
McCauliffe and Val Zemitis for other assistance. Perhaps you will have encountered some of these folks?
Bill uses as reference, Basman, J. Benjamin & E. Schiller, Bloodgood, Dubini
R. ("1.g4" L'Arcimatto, 12/81 & 2/82), Euwe, M (Grob-Flankenspiel), Ganzo
J., Grob, Harding (Dallas), Matanovic, Welling G (Grob's Attack In Practice,
1981).
