no more fucking around...

okay it's time to draw the proverbial line in the sand. i am playing 1.e4 in this tournament. i will likely play Bb5 v. all sicilian lines except for c3 v. 2. ...e6 and go for an advanced French. needless to say i will play the advanced french. austrian attaq v. the pirc and the ruy lopez. so basically i have three systems as white (word botwinnik). ruy lopez (v. ruy and sicilian) advanced french (v. french and e6 sicilian) and austrian attaq (v. garbage). probably i'll stick with the panov v. the caro-kann and just wing it v. the scandinavian. i can't even think if i'm forgetting anything. i don't have the bollocks to play the cochrane gambit v. the petroff. i decided to play the 2....d6 3.Bb5+ lines wasn't the end of the world. if it's lazy and drawish so be it...i'm just looking to survive. i am going to book up a bit v. the scandinavian. a bit. as black i'm going for nimzo, QID (no more fucking QGD bitch) and caro. i will play the grünfeld v. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 and 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 if they allow me. i'm in the middle of moving over to 8th street so better to decide this now with less than a month, than when i'm living out of boxes for the next couple of weeks. amanda got a job in town which is cool, i will invite her and jason over for drinks sometime.
