The late IM Basman used to open 1 g4? regularly, e.g. in the British Championship.

g4 brilliant more like g4??
In that first rapid game I don't understand the point of Rb1. You were allowing Qxa5 (which seems obvious but he didn't go for it either) after which the game is still drawn but only Black can hope for any kind of advantage. I thought maybe I was missing something so I dropped it in the engine. Evaluation -0.2 after Qxa5.
