The Power of the Torre - Take 2!

So a little more than a month ago, I had posted a game where I took down my local rival - that one guy that you see at the club every week and both are always trash talking about how one is going to take the other one down.

That game that I smashed him back on February 23rd can be found here:

Well, last night, we face again, and with the same colors.  As mentioned in the article above, his downfall is that he plays erratically.  I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!  For the second time in a row against him, I take advantage of his erratic style of play, and throw the Torre Attack right back at him once again!  In no way am I saying that the Torre is the almighty opening.  It's not!  But against the right opponent, that of the overly erratic type, it's pure gold!

Very nice game.  Brutal.

Nicely played. Do you traditional King's Indian setup against Torre?

Your opponent doesn't seem so much erratic, as incapable of learning from previous mistakes. The game seems remarkably similar to previous game. Wonder why he didn't bother to look up a decent line of play.
