Here is the opening of a game I played when I drawed a 1061 rated player. I played white.

I quite like getting the four knights out asap - it always leads to an open game.  However, not always easy to defend!  Cool

You accepted a draw after 6 moves, when you were a knight up? Or is there more to this game?

Rich,

Count your pieces again.  No one is up. I'd assume there is more to the game and the opening was misplayed but the players are new and that is to be expected.

First of all I wasn't a knight up it was a tie game and there was more of the game that we played.
