So you repeatedly nag the IM for an answer as if you're entitled to it, and then you are upset when you get one.

What's your favorite chess memory? Could be a game, a tournament you attended, someone you met through chess.

Can you briefly explain the "Phildor counterattack" in Bishop's opening?

I feel like when I go 3. Nf6 here I give White d4, which most people don't play, but if they go d4, White is pretty happy no?
 
I like to play ...2c6 because I know some traps and I saw Fabi play it
 
but often even if I do get d5 in I end up losing that pawn and the center is weak..
 
and d6 is also a bit sad..
 
So is there a logical middle game plan/s to aim for?
 
Thx

Can I play a game in Najdorf with you or a few to sort of get an idea for what’s going on? Looking at gm games hasn’t helped a ton and I’m thinking getting blown off the board might help me learn from my mistakes.

No line is clearly "better" than the other. Objectively, Nxd4 is the main line.
