I was going to give this a proper answer, but on a hunch I went to the Spirituality forum first to see if you'd been active. Have you?! Wow.
Do you really need explaining from someone lowly like me that rules in chess openings are just guidelines, or does your 2200+ rating come from purely divine intervention?

Originally posted by Proper KnobI know but data bases (loose term) don't come with explainations :>😉 My daughter is nine and has started started taking art classes.
