I should learn a bit about playing the Black side of Sicilians, as I've avoided playing 1. ... c5 for a lack of theory knowledge. It seems like my kind of aggressive, tactically loaded opening (I'm a King's Gambiteer at heart), but it seems that there's some unintuitive element to it that I can't get a handle on that makes playing Sicilians feel unnatural the rare time I do try it.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

So do we discuss the game openly while Vekzel has access to our discussion?

good point. i guess we'll just have to put discussion in a separate post and go by the honor rule.

Nonono, one of you should use some thread from his old blog entry and then PM you all with adress. There is 0.01% chance I'll find it, even if I would bother to search.

It would be pretty easy to find since posts in the forum are sorted by last post date, unless they conduct their discussions entirely by edit or something &lt;_&lt;

Then the only solution is some other site :-(

But since we are going to trust each other about chess engines, I'd say opening another topic somewhere else and assuming I won't look at it should be enough.

You could discuss in spoilers, and OP just has to honor the rule that he won't read any spoilers in the relevant thread. Good luck to both sides~

There are some forums that almost nobody ever looks at. Imagine if they used this thread:
