Well, no surprise he played Petroff. It’s the opening he’s best in.

Is he? I thought Deirdre would be good at any opening, but I'd have guessed either Ruy lopez or Sicilian as his favourites.

“He” as in @TheNatureOfChess. Yeah, it’s like the opening he uses against e4 as black.

Yup, still theory. I'd be surprised if Deirdre didn't know the year this move was first played in serious tournament practice!

As black, yea (when white plays e4)
