Is there a limit on rating? Im a 2251 CM, if thats allowed, id love to join in.

For 1.e4 I vote we opt for a classical caro-kann, I have quite a few neat tricks in all the major variations and would feel very confident in using that. Alternatively, if we do really want something action packed, I do have blitz notes on the sicilian dragon (classical, yugoslav and variants).

For 1.d4 I would like to play a queen's indian or nimzo-indian (yes, im a boring guy obviously). Ive been coached by GM Larry Christiansen and GM Joel Benjamin in both, just because the structures are a lot of fun. Again, for the...blood inclined, we could go with a semi-slav. Ive studied up bigtime on the variations favored by both GM Anand and GM Kramnik.

anyway, hope im not too late.

with guys like you joining, there's no point in me playing lol

Oh btw, we might just use someone's blog for discussion, would be way easier than constantly pming everyone.


Good idea.

EDIT:
I just took on One Page Memory on Playchess. He is tough, I lost 2 games badly and 1 narrowly.

I guarantee you I'll send my scouting SCV on time.

I'll join. I haven't played chess in years though, I never learned notation or anything. Still, will be a bit of fun.

I run into that or 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 (Nc6 2. Bc4 g6) on chess.com's live blitz when playing Black fairly frequently. Its a bit ridiculous.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

When someone does that to you, all you have to do is exploit the weakness they created in their position! It's like they threw one of their four workers away at the stop.

Yeah, I know how to deal with it fairly well, it's just surprising that people expect others not to be able to handle it.

I don't think I have the macro to pull off jfazz's build. Then again, it is a team melee.

I was asking Yury Shulman for opening recommendations once, and he said "there are very few opening I will not recommend to my students... the Dragon is one of them" ;d The game is complex in terms of calculation but simple in terms of strategy for white. I play sveshnikov which IMO is even crazier than the dragon, although I wouldn't recommend it. We would need like 400 apm
