Maybe you can get a chess section on the wiki?
Would make sense to put books, problems etc. there.

Of course, archiving links to games and study sessions on here would be excellent, too.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 is known as the Philidor Defence. (Yes, I looked it up.) Wiki says: "After 3.d4 Black has several options. One of the most common is 3...exd4, an old move that was abandoned for a while but has been revived... Black should not play 3...Bg4?, as he will be forced to trade bishop for knight with serious loss of time after 4.dxe5 Bxf3 5.Qxf3 dxe5 6.Bc4, followed by 7. Qb3. The "natural" 6... Nf6 costs a pawn."

BTW, you got your names wrong. This is known as the Opera Game. Here are some great notes about it: wiki

Maybe we can look at the Immortal Game next. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

oh well, my bad. I chose the game because it was a short game and it would give us an idea on how to proceed. I would like to choose other games that haven't been analyzed to death and give us an endgame to play with

If you are interested in the Philidor's Defense This is an excellent reference for you

I think because this was such a short game, and already very heavily analyzed that we can probably move on to the next game soon. I have a game picked out that we can use next time, but I'd love to hear options from other guys. I'd like to avoid games that are in Logical chess move by move books, simply because we have the analysis right there. And there are tons of games out there by top level GMs that we can analyze
