    I didn't mean to quiet everyone. You can type text and stuff. You can even talk about the move. When you submit your actual move, just separate it from the bulk of the post, like this

    seems that 4...Nf6 seems like a reasonable move, if a little obvious, we gain a tempo on the e pawn which white must respond to, we develop a piece, 4...e5 also gains tempo but commits the e pawn to e5 and leaves us with a backward pawn on d6, 4...g6 seems quite interesting but does not win any tempo and leaves white option of playing f4, so in retrospect, 4...Nf6 seems most logical. I will not cast a vote yet as i hope to discuss some of the pros and cons, publicly before making mechanical choice. This is what we do in consultation matches in Scotland club so i do not see why it cannot work here also - regards Robert.

    I may not remember correctly, but I think 4. ... e5 runs into 5. Bb5+. Then the light squared bishops can come off and white plays Nf5 and Ne3 with great control over the weakend light squares (like d5).
    Is this right ?
