OK, but first, here's a game I just played and annotatted:

Max v. Guest1352
chessclub.com82102
5 0 u Blitz

In this game I play a d4 opening
commonly called, half-mockingly,
"The System," an opening plan
favored by genius/quack Hans Berliner.

His book is a quick way to learn
chess but also about computers–
Berliner has big ideas about
AI and chess. Overall a cool
book.

Berliner says that after d4, c4, Nc3
(a move I call "the Kramnik", haha,)
f3, and e4, white is winning.

Berliner is viewed as a quack by
many more respectable chess geniuses.
This may be true, as Berliner has claimed
to have busted/refuted major defenses
like the Benoni and the Gruenfeld but
has not totally backed it up.

1. d4 d5
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. f3 Be7
5. e4 dxe4
6. fxe4 0-0
7. Nf3 c5
8. e5 cxd4
9. Nxd4 Nfd7
10. Bf4 b6
11. a3 Bh4+
12. g3 Be7
13. Bg2

0-1, black resigned.

What happened was, all my
minor pieces (knights and
bishops) were harassing the
center and he dropped a rook.

No idea what his rating was.

Best,

So in our game, I reply with d5–the Scandinavian!!!!!!!!

Someone else talk about chess, or I will feel like Russell Crowe. However,
one must learn/memorize the squares and notation in order to study
efficiently–as well as names of openings, tactics, and pawn structure. So,
in algebraic, Muserna played 1. e4 and I played 1… d5, also known as the
center-counter. Now it's up to Muserna. May Genevsky bless the winner.
