There is beauty and hidden complexity in all onslaughts. Only a fool claims mastery over even the simplist and his foolishness shall be exposed.Exactly.That wasn't really my problem. I make it my policy not to do "solved" onslaughts. Five man? Might as well play tic-tac-toe.Cosmo?

In honor of Cosmo I propose a 26 man onslaught

Just a heads up:My buddy is having an online Onslaught tourney in May. It's going to be a great chance to see who's talk and who's actually throwing up meaningful onslaughts.Sign ups are here. I'll need to know ahead of time if you're in. Right now I think he's doing three different types, but I'll let you know as it gets closer. Let me know if you want in.

I figured as much. I'm taking you in the Calcutta. I think the entry fee's going to be $100 and they're looking at about 200 to 250 players. They're doing $100 entry fee to make sure only serious players get in. Is that going to be cool?

Xian Jamboree. He said he wouldn't do the tourney unless the payout was XJ. I can't say I agree, but he's running it so whatcha gonna do.
I think it should still be fun though.

Now well see if you really know what you're talking about or if its all a front. Either way, I don't want to draw you in the first round.
Iron Shiek is missing...you gotta find him first

OK, this is my first attempt, so I'll keep it small. Please let me know from this if you feel I have the potential to be tournament-worthy.12-34-4-4-4-456-7-8-91011I tried to keep it simple. Note the use of the multiple fours, derivative of the Alayman defense first employed in the late 70s. I understand this is more of a defensive move and may weaken the 2-3 and potentially leave the 1st wave exposed, but I am trying not to bite off more than I can chew. Any thoughts on this approach?

You noticed that, eh? See, this is why I posted this here. Are you implying that Vorchnok's contention that using all the men in sequence is erroneous? Or rather that I erred by only deploying multiple 4s, another Vorchnok trademark.Drinking the Vorchnok koolaid huh?
I'm sure the answer is in one of your books.You noticed that, eh? See, this is why I posted this here. Are you implying that Vorchnok's contention that using all the men in sequence is erroneous? Or rather that I erred by only deploying multiple 4s, another Vorchnok trademark.
Ok, I'll set it up. If I set it up today will you be able to at least be here to sign up(and then of course, we'll wait for you to get back since you are most responsible for popularizing the onslaughts here)?Eh, I'll leave it to you. I'll be out of townTanner, do you want to go ahead and set up a tourney or should I?

Practically, but not exactly. The differences may be esoteric, but Kortke's 5 did not follow the 4s nearly as closely, and he transposed both 6-7 and 8-9. I know this is minimal, but surely you can see how the end result is affected, even by such a small change....
FOR ALL OF THE ONSLAUGHT FANS, LISTEN UP!I'm going to start the sign up for the onslaught tourney on Monday. I'll start an entirely new sign up thread in the FFA(if they let me.....not sure since they seemingly want to limit our great minds to one thread). Please sign up then. If you're not going to be around on Monday but want to sign up, then PM me.

That doesn't mean much coming from a self-fellater.
Have been working on this one for a while. 32 man onslaught. Its a touch of Bridian with a touch of Ellison. Take it FWIW.

I miss jwvdcw. :sad:
Funny you should say that because Kavovalev is probably my least favorite of the B-class onslaughters. I think that he drastically overestimates the importance of the rod-end sizemores in comparison to the entering shift. Its not as if its ABC, but its as elementary as you make it. I guess I can see why you'd say that, and I don't think that Kavovalev is without a few strong points. However, like many others, I consider his '72 win to be just about the biggest fluke of all time.
