The Richter-Veresov attack: Richter variation

Summary:

The Richter-Veresov attack: Richter variation is extremely rare and occurs in less than 1 in 10,000 games. From the data, you can expect that White will have a high 64.71% chance of winning, while Black should only have a 35.29% chance of winning. Because of the fact that most players probably have never seen this opening, and that Black has such a low expected chance of winning, it may be well worth it to keep this variation in your back pocket. Since as White, you should have a significant edge and will probably catch your opponent off guard.
