Hi Number 1,
I remember it well, it is on page 2 of Thread 133847.
After White's third move you said::
"Never cared for all that memorization required to play the Lopez; the Scotch has given me great results."
I replied:
"Try playing an opening you have never played before by 'feel'. I think most of you
will be surprised at what you do know and infact the less you know sometimes the
better you can play. Fresh eyes, new positions, mind on full alert.
Trust yourself.
Most chess players are better than what we think we are, and yet
these same chess players are not as good as what we think we are.
(hey that is not too bad, quite deep, I'll use that again.)"
.......and I just have!
Here is the again, I've added the notes inside the game, I don't think we could that back in 2010.
Number one is White.
