	Sokolsky Opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sokolsky Opening (also called the Orangutan or Polish Opening) is an uncommon chess opening in which White opens with 1.b4 (see algebraic notation).
		The opening has never been popular at the top level, though a number of prominent players have employed it on occasion (for example, Richard Réti against Abraham Speijer in Scheveningen 1923 and Boris Spassky against Vasily Smyslov in the 1960 Moscow–Leningrad match).
		The opening is largely based upon tactics on the queenside or the f6 and g7 squares.
