Hmmm.....it appears that White likes to open the H-file.....and black does best when it stays closed....

^^ it seems to lead to rather interesting games

i would Take up your challenge but having 6 games already and not being a suscriber makes that a problem...ahwell

ok to bad.

The game is now at 1.d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 Ne4 (one of the main lines) 3.Bf4

3.Bh4 is not very good but 3.h4 is REALLY interesting, black should not take on g5 but instead play h6 with our main line just that h4 and h6 is played.

If you send over a challenge, I will take on your tromp. However, I won't be able to move past the first two moves until I get home (I will consult a database to get some idea of how to fight it - after about 8 moves I usually abandon the database though).

Ah yes... You are aware that it is now 2006?

ok sure.

I has also layed out two invites at open invites from the Trompowsky position.

One has already been taken, buthe moves are: (from the trompowsky position) 2...e6 3.e4
