You know, I'd love it if this would turn out to be a mistake!

1. Nc3 e6
2. e4 d5
3. exd5 exd5
4. Nf3

BTW, I'd suggest that you make the game more of a hobby, and not an obligation. Try thinking about your move in the free 'relaxing time' you create for youself in exam times. I did so in my last game with BD.

Afterall, slow chess can be allowed to be sloooooooow.

Good, you did just what I had predicted.

[ronthepon]

Predictions will not help you.

1. Nc3 e6
2. e4 d5
3. exd5 exd5
4. Nf3 d4
5. Nb5

Nothing will.

Action, reaction, Action, reaction...

Interesting move...what are you up to?

[TheBigDog]

What a strange opening. And what will happen next. I have sealed what I think Ron's response will be in a mayonaise jar.

Okay, I think this move had been predicted. Did you expect this, pgrmdave?

1. Nc3 e6
2. e4 d5
3. exd5 exd5
4. Nf3 d4
5. Nb5 c5
6. Bc4 a6
7. Qe2+

Bring it on now, pgrmdave, I can't leave him exposed can I?

BD, way I see a photo of you putting your hand in the mayonise jar, and pulling out the chit? Is there a seal? Did you get your hand dirty?

[pgrmdave]

1. Nc3 e6
2. e4 d5
3. exd5 exd5
4. Nf3 d4
5. Nb5 c5
6. Bc4 a6
7. Qe2+ Be7

hmmmm...the differences in our style of play is obvious - look at your pawn-row-to-back-row ratio compared to mine. You have only one pawn out, I have half of mine out, but you have four of your backrow pieces out, while I only have a bishop, and he's only one row out.

[ronthepon]

Wake up! I'm attacking already.

1. Nc3 e6
2. e4 d5
3. exd5 exd5
4. Nf3 d4
5. Nb5 c5
6. Bc4 a6
7. Qe2+ Be7
8. Ne5

The difference in style is purely due to difference in intention.
