Nice game, Josh. I didn't know who you were playing until you said, "Mr. Laskey."

I do not like his giving up a strong presence in the center by playing 2. d3  I'm sure you've looked at this on a computer, but Fritz 12 doesn't like d3 either, and gives it a ? which is what I thought about it too. I liked your move c5 because you take total control over the center squares. Not to trash Chris but he didn't play this like he knew how to achieve a good middlegame. However, you did so quite nicely.

Thanks for posting the game!
