  • In the Stonewall, you play the c3 move in response to black's c5; you're giving your bishop an escape square in case black plays c4, so the bishop can stay on the b1h7 diagonal. In the Zukertort you play b3 instead; rather than give the B an escape square, you're protecting the c4 square itself.

  • yes, it is bummer... I understand it is a lot of effort; a repeat effort from you. I am sure it will be worth the effort for the group though.

  • We won't get that back from the site, so I will have to reproduce them. May take some time to re-write them and gather my thoughts again. Lucid

  • Yes, I would very much like it if we get those posts back.. I want to learn more about the opening and its variations. Personally, I am more interested in vote chess games than team matches though.

  • I'm still annoyed by the fact that all most postings for the basis of most of the forum posts are gone. I would have liked to have that information back so i can add to it,...games, analysis, variations...I'll have to get back to that shortly to keep some buzz in the group. Lucid

  • Well...I believe some inactivity can be explained by a lack of knowledge of the Stonewall theme, on a general basis. We tried a few times to set up Stonewall themed Tourneys but no team wanted to play with the certain set up. Well...there was the once ChessKings, but they wanted some real slow move times and we couldn't agree. We can set one up and see who will bite, and who will join and start from there. Can I get a census of who would join the match so I know we have at least a handful
