Yes, I wondered whether to put the Bath coup as being pure/impure when I moved it. I suppose tempo gain is useful. I moved it as something like a Vienna coup ar a scissors coup leaves the defence helpless whereas a Bath coup might not. (Of course it still might!). Anyway, thinking about it, it would be daft to have a 'almost pure' section and it probably fits 'pure' better. Anyone got any better names than 'Pure' and 'Impure'?

Well... Maybe the "Impure" should be "Deceptive"? (Although, in my view, a "true" Grosvenor can only lose a trick but never gain one – the point is to get the opponent brainf*cked). But then, I don't have an idea for "Pure" ones – "classic", "straightforward", ...? Duja 10:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
