In Response To: The “Koca” – A view from below (Taper_Mike)

In my notes I have it as 2up. But in my club (soon to be closed) I call it Persian opening. It is known that for many centuries Persians preferred to make the 2up move (or Up?) with 23 and 43 as first own roll. I don't mind Koca as I don't mind Sicilian defence in chess where many single or group contributions (as the Bulgarian variation in Sicilian) have much more than Sicily. Remember, sometime ago Italy lands were the mother of chess (and much more as banking for instance) in Europe. A very large portion of the pre-Renaissance books and art in Europe are Orthodox. This is sideways:)
