We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges.

Nf6
or rather Ng8-Nf6

Why long algebraic? Especially if you are a FIDE player, tournaments don't use it anyway. Heck, noone uses it anyway. Even chess books don't, so it wouldn't help a newbie to learn. Best the newbie adjusts to algebraic.

unless tl is filled with experts, i don't give us much of a chance at winning...considering a plan is extremely important and you can't really depend on tactics the entire game...with just a bunch of people voting for one move at a time it's hard to come up with a real plan

Somebody has to perform some in depth analysis of the various possible moves a la Krush in Kasparov vs The World if TL really wants to stand a chance.

! just like to blab here
Queen pawn opening one of my favs i have a habit of trading pieces to quickly simplify and develop the game into late game as it take up either trading black the queens side for control of giving him the kings side. Queen gambit a variation of queen pawn opening is my fav opening as white frankly i hate the style of slow manuring some people play i love all gambits.

If i was playing black i would respond in kind
pawn to d5 line it up don't get caught up in strict openings you play the beginning to develop your end game. And depending on how you respond i would just develop my pawn structure to get shit out of the way.
I don't use AIM/MSN/ etc stop asking...

i actually hate queen pawn openings, variations can get really tricky as they can easily transpose to other queen pawn openings. i also feel very cramped with queen pawn games.

Let's try to play whatever is most standard so everyone can follow along. There's no need to get fancy when we have such a manpower advantage.
