Ok, since you're wondering (and criticizing) the opening let's just look at moves 1-10:
[Event "Open invite"]
[Site "http://www.playtheimmortalgame.com"]
[Date "2007.11.21"]
[EndDate "2007.11.22"]
[Round "?"]
[White "YouGotPawned"]
[Black "Dutch Defense"]
[WhiteRating "1581"]
[BlackRating "1491"]
[Result "0-1"]
[GameId "4290601"]
1. e4 g6 2 ...[text shortened]... confused though.)
Sorry if I sound like a pretentious dick...
I do not like the many queen moves...although fritz thought it was okay. I would play something were I moved my queen less but that is personal preference of playing an opening where your queen moves a few times or not at all.
