The Schliemann is an exciting opening which gives both sides a chance to attack 😀

In the main line, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.Nc3 dxe4 5.Nxe4 d5 6.Nxe5! dxe4 7.Nxc6 Qg5!, a very sharp and interesting position is reached, which tests the knowledge and skill of both players 😲

I would recommend the op ...[text shortened]... l players looking for something a liitle different from the usual Spanish / Ruy Lopez 🙂

Speaking of the Schliemann...Mr. Tebb..I was wondering when you might be available to play me. If you want to wait till my rating gets back up then I totally understand 😀

The Showdown at the RHP corral..... This should be televised instead of Kaspy vs. Deep Junior.....prolly be more interesting than the last game......

* Eye of the Tiger starts to play in the backround!*

In this corner....

Just kidding boys!

Dave, if I haven't said so already, welcome back.
Also, congratulations on your rapid rise through the ratings.

I'd be happy to play you in a rated game when your rating is more realistic.
If you could get to at least 1700, that would be reasonably fair, don't you think?

But I'll play an unrated game with you whenever you like. Just send over a challenge.

I appreciate the welcome back David...and getting back to 1700 won't take me too long so I will wait to play you then...although we might cross up in the tourneys 😀

I think it will be the most checked and viewed game in RHP history.

So as soon as I get my rating back to a respectable level and it starts I will let everyone know it is on 😀

Maybe someone could elaborate on some of the subtle traps in the Spanish/Schliemann opening (which I assume are mostly for black?)
😕
