If this is what the Monty Python is, its a very low grade unentertaining kind of entertainment. Not Britian's best by a long shot. Even Mr Bean is better than that.

Just because White has more luck in that line? Maybe because the opening weakens the centre, and more importantly the central dark squares. That's probably why White has won many games and the top players refrained from playing it. It has nothing to do with luck. It's simply not sound positionally and tactically. Look at Joel Benjamin's games in the 1980's with it. Plus almost all of the good US GM's including Christiansen and etc.
