    "Under Construction"   but you can say something if you wish.Just don't know where to put it so I thought this is the best place to do it here.

    The Bishop's Opening. 1.e4  e5  2. Bc4
    tonydal- " It fun", ADK-" It dangerous" 

    note: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d3 Nc6 4.Nf3 and 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 leading to the Modern Bishop's Opening.

      As more and more KP players become frustracted b the diminishing returns of allowing the Petroff, the Bishop Opening is bound to gain in popularity. Modern treatment steers the game into channels closely akin to the Giuoco Pianissimo or the Two Knights. Black has several paths to equality but present tastes prefer the latent possibilities of this system to the static formations arising from the Petroff. -BCO Kasparov and Keene     

       Here the link for the tournament 'click here' rated between 1600-2000, 3 days move. I won 6 games to 3, still got one game and is on going. Won 2 games with white and 4 with black. So far 15 games won with white and 14 with black. Congratulation to groo winner of this tournament.
