lol, that kinda reminds me when I was at a chess tournament a few years ago, and in the skittles room someone was bragging he had a refutation of the Sicilian. Well my friend always plays the Sicilian and took up the guys challenge...I was playing my own game at the time so I don't know the moves, but after the game was over my friend won, and the other guy kept repeating "You where supposed to take the 2nd pawn!" 😛

I'll be ready for the Morra declined for my otb club games but on here practically everyone seems perfectly happy to accept the gambit.

2 x c3 Sicilians out of 32 for me I think if memory serves.

Bit of a pigs ear out of this one Game 3765817 after a promising start - after move 15 I look in fine form(!) but I think I won the other declined which I played a while back.

You might have had a bunch of chances to prove this statement in the 1/14 clan league, but you resigned all of your games instead.

Care to explain why?

My gameload went from 25 games to 43 in progress which was too much for me.
Also, I was PM'd by cmsmaster regarding the King's Gambit Players clan being wound-up over a month ago, with no new challenges being issued.
These are the first games I have resigned like that since I joined RHP in July 2006 & I am no longer a member of Clan 24529
