curtains, How long are you spending generally to go over each move so far? Yugoslav [/ QUOTE ] So far....most I've spent on a move has maybe been 5 minutes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But I haven't been in danger of losing where I need to make some big calculations just yet. Actually a spent quite a bit of time on Qb3...that was maybe my longest think. I wanted to go Qd1 instead but got scared of a few problems involving my a2 pawn. Perhaps my fears were irrelevant. Maybe spent 10 minutes on that move?

Re: Curtains vs PoG
Okay, sounds like you're spending about as long as I assumed you would be.
One other question. How do you like being able to read your opponents' thoughts throughout the game? Have you been paying attention or do you figure they're not important? I'd imagine it helps give you a pretty decent edge vs. if POG did it behind closed doors. Yugoslav

Re: Curtains vs PoG
how exactly do people plan on opposing Qd4 and Bb2?
Rc8 seems pointless because Qd4 puts his queen in a pretty good spot and forces us to play either a6 or b6, so we don't even gain tempo. i think we either play Qb6 or Ne4 followed by Qf6, which i find particularly sexy but haven't really looked at it too closely.
