    Hi Henri:

    I also played the Bird years ago - same reasoning at the class level as for the Dutch - opponent puts pieces on long-term wrong squares (Unfamiliar with it) and this benefits you as the game goes on.

    You've gotten me interested in it again - think I'll go look at some of my notes, and maybe dust it off for use at the class level.
