When playing as white I´m always pleased to see my opponent play Damiano´s defence.

I like opening a can of cold guiness of a hot summer's day.

British don't drink their beer.
They pour it all out on the ground.

DOPEYNESS seems to abound here. Does anyone post LEGITIMATE posts? Does anyone have anything to say that is worthwhile?

I am here to correct that. TRUTH and LOGIC will soon follow.

As white I play the Reti-Fischer opening, Tal variation - Petrosian gambit with f4.

As black I play the Reti-Fischer opening, Tal variation - Petrosian gambit declined Nimzowitsch poached fish counter gambit, with an early Ng4.

Truth and logic saw what you said in those other threads you started and ran away screaming.

As White, Reti, Nizmo-Larsen, or the English.

Black depends on what is played, Usually against King Pawn Openings, I play the Nimzovich Defense or the Pirc, or very rarely since I just started studying it, the Sicilian. Against Queen Pawn openings one of the Indian Defenses.

Or for a change of pace I might just play the Modern Defence against everything.
