I won't express my opinion because when I do I get told I don't know anything.

Please keep giving your opinion. There will always be ignorant people who don't know how to behave themselves or give usefull feedback.

In the shadow of great Minds like Kasparov or even electronic minds like Rybka, not many of us may claim that we know or understand chess.

Oh... and
10...Rc8

🙂

10... Rb8 is an excellent choice. It mixes it up and gets us out of the book

Rc8

...rc8, still copying carlsen

It appears the Rc8ers have it.

Hi All
I'm slowly wiggling back in to chess.
I may need another week or two before I start playing though.
I think it's time to play poker until I burn out and then switch back to chess. 🙂
That's my usual routine.

My vote is


Rc8

Rc8 is my vote. I'm almost ashamed of it though, the Chinese Dragon has sparked my interest before (I think when Radjabov(sic?) played it against Carlsen, or maybe against Ivanchuck, or one of those Super-GMs) and I wouldn't mind playing through it with my fellow RHP players as I'm sure we could learn a lot about it.

I've seen good analysis of the opening so far, so I'll keep my two cents to myself for now.

Anyone else getting anxious?...three or four more moves and we should have a very sharp tactical battle on our hands.
