The black Grob (otherwise known as the Borg)

Is it playable in response to any move as white.

Actually before starting this I did extensive analysis with Fritz and Basmans "The Killer Grob" which covers 1. ... g5 as well as 1. g4 and I decided the 1. h4 was even better than 1. f4 if black is going to play 1. g5 regardless.

I think that its definetly not good for black - they cant afford so much as white.

provided, of course, that your opponent hung his knight on move 7...
i wish all of my opponents would do that...

I hung my knight a couple of moves later...😞 But it's fun not because i was up in material but because i have a lot to think about. I think i'll give the grob another try on a more thoughtful game and that's it.
This is too hard for me at this moment.

true, but your knight hanging was not so bad as it created a passed pawn in the process...

EDIT: nevermind...
i just finished looking over the whole game...
you lost that passed pawn and his h-pawn is passed...
advantage black
