That opening is alot of fun...but I do recommend it for OTB play and
speed chess on the net. But if you know it like nonbody's business
then play it here.

The middle game in that one is what really decides...not the opening.

Like the dragon Smaug on his golden treasure, Schliemann sits on his pile of
books, casting about with an avaricious eye, always eager to add to his horde.

JRR Tolkein went to My school !! And Kyngj, Gabwaa, powermonger
and a few others ... just thought you might be interested. Many of the
features are based around Birmingham which is in central England.

If I write a book on chess, will you buy it? I think it will be called: "101
common chess mistakes and how to know when you've made them".

Schliemann, with all due respect, you either gotta take a sleeping pill
next time or seek therapy; you got too much chess on the brain!!. On
the other hand, you've got a pretty good record, so I'll shut up now...
