Where is everybody? I hate it when the forum grows quiet for more than a day or two at a time. No Puzzling Posts, No Contreversial Comments, No Interesting Information, No Thrilling Threads!

If you attempt to type invalid notation in, then the posting will be rejected stating that the system can't interpret the moves. Another posibility would be that the moves were typed into the comment box rather then the opening moves box. AHA Again ..... More Enlightment ! ! ! Thank-You Greg. As yo...

Greetings Rdecredico .... and Thanks My Friend for confirming my suspicions !!! :wink: Yes .... I see that we are both playing in this same tourney [m1257156881].

I don't like 4...Nc6, although I realize it has been played by players far better than I'll ever hope to become. 4...Nf6 or 4...e6 both look more promising to me as the black player. 5...dxe4 also looks bad to me. while 5...e6 seems playable. By the time we get to move 9, 9...e6 appears just about ...
