  • Mullaney: The Anything Can Happen Opening

    mullaney:

    Does an alternate name already exist for the ‘anything can happen opening’? When you hear ‘organic opening’ you think ‘sound and movement’?

    This is a much better name for it. “Organic” always sounded like some West Coast hippie bullshit.
