I am rooting for Ponziani Power to extend their 13 game winning streak and so I figured out a way to watch the 3 games going on now.

sounds strange. you could always rejoin rather than figuring out a way. there is no need for whatever it is you are doing. you would certainly be welcomed back even if you are no longer able to contribute analytically.

For a period of time I could not contribute analytically to Ponziani Power because of a series of severe health problems but that is not the reason I left.
I left on good terms until the super decided that I was "into conspiracy theories" and unfriended me and cut me off. I am still paying for the time when I defended someone accused of being an imposter but who was actually innocent. [I am the last person on this earth who would be "into conspiracy theories]
This is called "kill the messenger"

I won't re-visit these issues with you.
I was referring to your illness when I said, "even if you are no longer able to contribute analytically".
I wish you well.

Dave this is the Ng1 game you wanted to see. I believe the draw existed at move 25.

I had hoped my opponent would push for the win because it was the only way he could lose.
kant thanks for the game!

I am trying to defend my Ponziani championship against the dreaded Expertise 
.
Dave, any comment on the Ng1 game. You seemed very interested in seeing it.
kant
Your annotations are confusing to me as to what was actually played and what are notes. I am working on the game.
kant You went down one of the main side lines with 8. Ng1 e3!? and White only got a very small advantage from the opening. I followed the game to and through move 18. Thank you for posting.
Kudos and Congratulations to my former Vote Chess Team, Ponziani Power, for winning their 14th in a row!
No matter how much some like to downgrade the opening, it sometimes gives good practical results.
It is not the best opening as The Ruy Lopez and English and Queens Gambit and 1. Nf3 are no doubt better. But it gives good practical results.
After 6. Nxe5 Ng6 the best moves for White are 7. Qd4 or 7. Qf3
the move 7.Bd3 is given ?! in Play the Ponziani and the above game is in that book.
It is often a mistake to play for a draw with White against strong opposition. [if that is what White thought he was doing--he just played inferior moves]
I am hoping some gm will play 7. Qd4 some day and play for a win.
