I guess the guy you talk about just went a little too concrete with his explanations of the opening. Using central pawn majority is sometimes seen in Sicilian, particularily in some crazy variations where White makes all-out pawn storm on the Kingside, but yeah, I agree, it's not as important theme as, say, Queenside expansion, delaying/neglecting castling or controlling e5-square for Black. In general, depending on each side's choices, the whole opening leads to very diverse range of possible ideas and he would have to talk for like an hour to cover them all.

EDIT: By the way, occidentally, it's your move Black.

Considering it leads to the sharpest variation of the whole game (the dragon) or the devil's labyrinth, aka the Najdorf, I wouldn't say you are boring.

you've written the notation incorrectly

1. e2-e4 c7-c5
2. Ng1-f3


You only write down the square that was moved to, not from where the piece came lol

1.e4 c5
2.Nf3


That is normal notation, there is no need for extra complicity, as it will not add any useful info or remove ambiguity.

Just to clarify a couple of things:
1) You didn't have to make a new post: you're allowed to edit your posts until the deadline of your team's next move.
2) Actually, even if you hadn't made a new post, I would have counted your quoting the vote as casting a vote of your own. If you include the ##VOTE in your post, you're voting. Maybe there will sometimes be weird exceptional cases where the context of your quote makes it clear that you don't mean to vote the same way, but I think it's better to have simple rules that don't require any judgment calls to be made.

You are on Team Orient, friend.

Karl's right. As for the reason I wrote the rule that way: I think it's a good thing to have a standardized format for voting, so that it's easier to get a quick handle on what the votes are by searching for them on the page with your browser. I chose long algebraic notation because it's an easy-to-specify notation that is the same for everyone. True, it involves a little extra typing, but how hard is it to type two extra characters per move? Also, the extra information can serve as a rough error-detecting code in case someone mistypes his vote. I used the same notation in the Game History to be consistent with the voting style, but if it bothers you, I can change to a more minimal notation.

Too tired to update the OP right now; will do that tomorrow (for me). Glad to see people haven't waited to vote!
