    I think you'll find if you read The System Hans Berliner's
    emphasis on the strength of 1. d4 isn't justified by the move itself.
    However it is built instead on the system's idea's which follow this
    move. Simply playing 1. d4 doesn't do anything, Instead its the
    usage of principle, and a coordinated system of maneuvarbility which
    creates and maintains strength for the Queen's pawn.

    Almost all my games are open tournaments and clan games. I have won 50 public tournaments and around 20 private tourneys. I have played most of the top players.

    Thanks for the history lesson FM Master Dawghaus. Congrats on winning those 1500 and 1700ish banded tournaments!

    Needless to say, I have a lack of respect for your opinion in this matter.

    Oops, 602 losses now for caissad4. I guess the U600 title now passes to Bobby Chess. 😉

    Just kidding; caissad4's achievements here will always be unique.
