yes, cheers.

It dawned on me. The majority of my Englich openings. I find myself losing timing trying to get my c1 bishop out.

Just thought ~I would post it to see if people could Identify with this.

But I suppose I should just look at a database somewhere online to see how other people / grandmasters avoid this problem.

Because RHP community just seem to want a quick "one liner" for a quick laugh.
