Lol uhh, I already know how to quote thank you. I just didn't want to quote the whole thing because he provided many variations. I purposely just copied that line that I was talking about.
EDIT: Oh shit lol, I thought you meant quoting. I forgot to use spoilers that time sorry XD

Deadline for move 4 is over.
Guys I don't have a normal connection and am typing from phone.
4. c3 won and I will reply in two or three days, but please be a little patient this time with the OP update.

Hi Ng5, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make more moves for something like 9 days, I'm going out of town and I won't have internet, sorry about that, i'm just letting you know, i'll be back the 30th of august.
So please don't take me out of the roster
Thanks (:!

Sorry guys, I needed a day to daydream and contemplate on the beauty of life.
That and my room is still a complete mess.
I won't be posting today, but I will post sometimes during Monday. Sadly enough I don't think the f5 line is any sound for black in this position, but I will give it another thought since I do play it a lot.
Stay tuned!

So... is everything ok? Not sure you forgot about posting or just very busy. You have less than 6 hours from now if we are following the "3 days per move" rule. We can give you a few extra days if you like. That's np, just hope everything is ok.

Yea we should, but take a forfeit win is not the point for a community match like this.

I vote to make the game two days per move from now on. 
It's ok if Ng5 is late. I can play his move for him...
4. ... Qh4!!!
|
And the round for move 5 starts now.
I have some technical issues again, which is explained on top of the OP. If anyone could post a screenshot of the board this time I would be thankful.
To miss any misunderstandings - my move again is 4... Nf6!
Have fun and go!

5. d4
+ Show Spoiler [reasoning] +This is why we played 4. c3, isn't it? I don't see a reason not to play this right away. It's not like Black has many options that we have to worry about after 5. d4: he has to respond to the threat to his Bishop.
|
5. d4
He has to retreat the bishop or lose it.
|
5. 0-0
+ Show Spoiler +5. d4 exd4 6. cxd4 Bb4+
and now black wins the e-pawn with Nxe4, we can't defend e4 with 7. Nc3 or 7. Nbd2 as it'll be pinned to the king. edit: If 7. Bd2 then 7. ... Nxe5 ... 7. Bd2 equalizes materially but leaves black with a stronger position.
We need to castle before we can play d4.
|
5. 0-0
+ Show Spoiler +I agree. The correct line is to castle first then play d4 next because we will leave our e-pawn hanging. Let's not be too hasty and rush into d4 guys, take a moment to access the position and think about it.

We need to castle before we can play d4. Don't overstate the case. I see that you edited your post before I could reply. As your edit points out, Black does not win the + Show Spoiler [continued] +pawn. 7. Bd2 is one way to keep it. Another way is 6. e5. Another possibility is 6. BxN.
Now you say that 7. Bd2 "leaves Black with a stronger position". Maybe you're right, but saying so doesn't make it true. Can you back up that statement with some reasoning?
