I have some questions I would like to ask in the chess forums about a particular opening and some particular lines. I basically want to listen the ideas of strong CC players in RHP: some strategies and main plans for both sides etc...
However, the problem is that I have games going on currently regarding those openings and I believe most of my games in the future will be this particular opening.
To summarise: If I ask for help and ideas for strategies for a certain opening is this considered in the rules even though I still have (and maybe always will have) games which these lines are involved?

You can use databases for opening's here anyway so reading a discussion on an opening similar to one you're currently playing surely can't be a problem. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

The questions I want to ask is about French defense and currently in progress but well after opening. I found myself on the passive and almost helpless *in a book position* and I am wondering what should I have done.
I really need help from stronger players because just looking at databases you don't really understand "the grand plan". I want to learn good strategies and good plans (and bad plans and bad moves to avoid) in French Defence (in Winawer especially).
Maybe I should wait that particular game come to an end.

If however you are asking a question which will help you decide what move to make in a current game, then you can be in trouble.
