To Caissa


Dear Caissa, Yes, I have been a good patzer wasting time reading opening books and watching Opening DVDs. Thank you for assisting my practice by inducing a fair amount of Opening Phobia into my limited brain.

I have come to the conclussion that there are semi solid reasons for walk down randomly along a new set of opening lines.

As a humble token for my devotion to patzerhood, I have also donated a few coins to the chess book industry.

My first Team4545 League game is scheduled for Sunday and I just might try the new scary stuff in the very first game.

UCO, here I come!

  1. I'm playing Sunday too ! At least you know what move he is likely to open with : your chance of a French Defence !

  3. So sunday it all starts for you and your team again. Any chances of winning that 45 45 competition?

    Hope you post your games, always intresting to see what a guy with opening phobia plays. :-)

  4. I have not done a great deal of scouting so I cannot guesstimate our chances. This season, I will play the 2nd board in one team and serve as back-up on two teams.

    Sure, I will waste some Internet space posting some games.
