Debut Tabia Reverse Count

Reverse count - debut in Russian drafts . In this debut, a black checker is put up by a stake checker , not white, as in the debut of “Kol”. The opening tabia appears after moves 1. cb4 fe5 / fg5 2. gh4 ef4 / gf4 3. e: g5 h: f4

The author of the manual on the debut Ryak P.M. writes that “basically this beginning has a lot in common with the beginning of the count. For black, the main task is to fix the checker f4 and to separate the white checkers on the flanks. However, the presence of one extra tempo in White significantly distinguishes the“ reverse count ”from“ stake "and slightly facilitates the protection of whites. This beginning occurs, as the practice of responsible competitions has shown, much less often" (Räek P.M. Debut “Reverse stake.” A manual on Russian drafts. - Cooperative “Kaissa.” - Tallinn: 1991. - 65 p. C.1).
