I need help on this game. I am on Chapter 6 and I have a full chess set. I have trouble defeating Grob. I need a move list that can help. Black's B-Knight was taken out.

The best defense to the Grob is 1...d5. After 2. Bg2 play ...e5. Bxg4 doesn't win a Pawn because of c4

Go to this website. It shows you a pretty good example of how to beat the grob.

It did help me. I need a little more help. I am on Chapter 7 and following the puzzle in the Eagle's place. It is like this...

In this composition, White moved last. Set the board as it was 2 moves ago. Hints are that

1. Black is in check so it must have been with the checking piece.
2. Black's king was not the last piece to move.
3. The white knight must have capture a piece.

The setup is

White Pawns @ a3,b3,d4
White Knights @ a2,b2
White King @ c1
Black King @ c3

Please help!

I know one player who swears the Grob is refuted outright by 1. g4 e5 2. Bg2 h5 3. gxh5 Qg5. I'm not so sure. You can also try a fun gambit, viz 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Bxg4 3. c4 d4 4. Bxb7 Nd7 5. Bxa8 Qxa8, with some compensation although possibly not enough.
