The "Buddy System": A New Feature for the Analysts

I just suffered my worst defeat ever last Friday. It was the first time I had ever played board 1 for my team and I lost in 16 moves against someone I later found out was a FIDE Master at 2367. I chose a defense I had never had much success with, even though I knew the ins and outs of it quite well. The problem was that I was too afraid to pay the "strong defenses"- French, Ruy Lopez, Sicilian, etc. 

I know many people in this group may feel the same way, as though they want to play defenses like those mentioned above, but don't have anyone to practice them with. In this forum, people can post what openings they would like to practice and other members looking to improve on the same opening can offer to help. It'll be kind of like a personal add for chess openings.

I'll be the first post:

I'd like to play Black in the following openings:

1. Ruy Lopez (3-5 games)

2. Sicilian (3-5 games)

And to play White in:

1. French Defense: King's Indian Attack (3 games)

This is a really fantastic idea for a new thread gxt. I would like to play against your sicilian if thats ok.

I would also like to note that I am interested in the Grunfeld. I would like to play 2 games with each color ideally. If there are any takers, please let me know:)

Oh yeah, do you feel like sharing the tourney game?

Not until hell freezes over. Too embarrassing.

 I would like to play the grunfield as well as both black and white if its ok.

I would also like to explore the french defense: kings Indian attack. I had it used once on me in a blitz game and was caught off gaurd, can't have that happen again=0. If you wouldnt mind i would like to play 2 games 1 as white and 1 as black

Anyone want to play me in the hedgehog? I'm playing white.

What about a sveshnikov game (I play black). I've actually never played it before but always thought from a glance it created interesting imbalanced positions while although a little chaotic more sophisticated than just kingside attacks.
