Pfren: 3..c5 is cheating. That move is why I stopped playing the Tarrasch. Such a buzzkill. When my opponents didn't play it I was happy.

I forgot you guys were all SGM's in here. Even the 1000 blitz players talk like they have it all figured out. An old IM who plays opponents in the 1600's to boost his rating and feed his ego, and a 1000 blitz player with the tactical prowess of a super computer. I hope there are actually people on this site with an ounce of humility to discuss chess with.

That "old IM" has a current FIDE rating of 2341 in regular play, 2345 in Rapid and 2375 in Blitz- also 2380 in official correspondence chess.
I do know that you are much higher rated than I am, but I cannot do any better- sorry for that...
Not bad stats for someone who was not very active during his career. If you had played more and concentrated more on chess you would be a gm by now. No shame in decline as you get older. Even Pachman declined in rating over the years.
