turkokan was cheating? hmm, well, it has to be said that my book of openings (MCO 12 -- admittedly out of date but still marginally useful) was certainly no match for him! by the time we got out of the book, I was already well and truly losing. don't use the book that often, but anytime I'm playing someone ranked way above me I pull it out -- learn more from the big guns in the mid-game then the opening I find.
