Show us some more
I've learned many counter gambits, eg the traxler - show me some more
The traxler actullay works
if your serious though... umm.. how about the Muzio, it looks sound to me.

I seek the grail

Originally posted by Mad Mac MacMadReally, that's only one film (2, counting my profile quote), but I do watch quite a few. Seems like it's applicable to the discussion, though.

I like the Ruy - it is my play....
Looking through a couple of your games, it appears that you prefer the Exchange after a6. I'm more of a Ba4'er. Any reason for the preference (if any)? I've only looked through a few games.
