Nahh, you're asking if furniture is balanced in Denmark. Of course it is.

Never judge a book by its cover. New Art of Defence In Chess and Pawn Structure Chess are very good books, but have very plain and flat covers that look like a 5th grade graphic art project.
Also, no, I don't speak German.
I know! (btw, you were lucky in the Tour '96. Lucky!).
you cannot call it luck as Riis confirmed that he was using epo. maybe he won on equal terms as nearly everyone from that time has confessed using doping.
That's for sure. But I once laughed to tears when a friend who loves football/soccer told me cyclism was despicable, a nest of cheaters and drug dealers. C'mon, football/soccer is such an oversized and corrupt business that if there's some doping (and you can bet there is) it would be a minor problem.
I also laughed when UCI and former Armstrong's sponsors were throwing up their hands in horror, so they didn't know anything about it? All of us watched how even his water carriers were able to reach the last mountain passes. Is all about the money at the end. Armstrong failure was only his unlimited arrogance, wich led him to think he was more than a mere pawn in the game, his bully manners and his ability to make enemies (a plus to the fact he's from the US, where institutions against doping are a bit more serious than in Europe). If not, he could have got away with all of this.
Nah, don't like it. Black has 3.... Nd4 in that position, causing white to break the rule of moving your piece twice in the opening unless he makes a stupid move like 4.a4 or 4.Na3. It's an unmitigated disaster.
