I will be gone for a few days (until next Tuesday) and unavailable to play for the most part in that time span (I might pop in here and there but with 50 games going on it will be hard to get a lot done). To any of my opponents, I will accept draw offers in most drawn/equal positions if you do not wish to wait. If the game is still early (less than 20~ moves) I may decline the offer. I will try to be back tomorrow morning to accept any offers before I leave.

 

Thanks,

Interesting question. I enjoy this opening from both sides, but have been more successful with it as black.

BTW- For any of us enrolled, please spread the word for this tournament, particularly any friends or past opponents you think might enjoy this.

Sweet, I can't wait to try black and improve my game with white. 

Quick question...

Do most of us prefer white or black or both?

 

I prefer to play this as white.
