Only entries from players with three or more month's membership of chess.com I set this rule because I believe many cheaters are caught quickly in the first month or so of plying their "trade". I will not hesitate to contact admin if I sense foul play...

I'm setting up this tournament because I want to trial 1d4 g6 followed by 2Bg5 as white for my own research. When I'm black others players might want to have a go at this variation back at me. But what you play as white is up to you after the first two moves.

My main idea with white will be to either go for a stonewall formation or go for a c3,d4,e4 formation - with a probable exchange of bishop for knight looming if black develops on f6.

This variation seems a little passive for white, but looks may prove deceptive... :-)
