If people are suggesting moves from theoretical lines that they read from some book that's really sad. I thought this was going to be a sort of free jam analysing where you think for yourself.

Blindly playing down lines from a database or an openings book is not much fun and, of course, does not require thought. That's not what I intend. I'm sorry if that was implied.

In an established, deeply analyzed opening system that may require very sharp, accurate play, such as Dragon, it's highly unlikely that we will find a good novelty in the first 15 moves. There are a myriad of options for lines that we may play down - subtleties in move order are key in a sharp opening system such as the Dragon.

Against a strong player, or a chess engine, simply following lines from a database will usually result in a loss. At some point, it is extremely likely that one player or another will deviate from opening theory.

All I suggested is that we play down viable opening lines that have been tested and may be proven to be playable. Of course I expect solid reasoning behind every move that is suggested.

Caro-Kann asked me to take this over (don't ask me why) apparently he got temporarily banned from the forums.

Anyhow, d6 won. And F9 replied with 3.d4.

Vote.
