I think this is it for me and the larsen. I tried to defer the knight move. Oh, I tried. This is what happened. Game 751770
Screw it. Next opening? Hmm... marshall attack.

10... Bf7; 11 dxe7, Qxe7; 12 Qxe7+, Kxe7
You would be a minor piece down. Do you ever continue a game when you are down a piece early on?
11. Bg5!! f5
12. dxe7 fxe4
13. exd1+Q Kf7
14. Qe7++
thats a little more than a piece 😛

or 10... Be7
11. Bg5!!
exd4 was to prevent d5 right? But this pawn chain would breakable with f5, which, I believe, is a major part of this opening...

And in every game he plays, he tries backhands and doesn't score, mainly because he had little practice with backhands and didn't adapt to situations were backhands probably didn't work. After a week, he yells to the coach, "backhands suck, I wanna try something else!"

You have to give the opening a chance and LEARN how to play it correctly. You have to LEARN the strategies behind it, and you have to LEARN how to deal with awkward moves were book moves may not be the best response, and last but not least, if you are really an attacking player Paul, learn the Sicilian in response to e4, darnit!
