Alright tomski, good luck!

all the best! :) (and yes, as a guideline... no one is going to blow any whistles. at any time, anyone can -though i will seldom need to- take a few days -even week(s)- off... and don't worry, i won't use this to get a 'weeks-worth' of analysis)
so, i thought you'd take white, but title suggests otherwise.. so which is it :D

Oh, you probably missed my message at the other thread:
"No, I'd like to take black first, as if you are stronger or weaker then what color I choose does not matter, but if we're on the same level then I can use the black game to check your playing style, move choice, for weaknesses, etc. and then try to take advantage of that information to try to win from the white side. If you don't mind."
So I'm black :)

Purposely avoiding the meat and potatoes of the position choosing instead to play something more safe and less potentially hyperactive.

let's see how it turns out.. a lot of the other lines were fizzling out in draws

this was a tough one... especially since my chess knowledge is inferior to yours... it was between e4 and a4 :)

hi tomski,nice to see you out and about again.we had some fun in the past.remember the racehorse games.
it's nice to be back out and about.
i missed a year of fun in here.. i missed the gang so much i decided to come back.
the last six months i've been following what you and some of the others have been discussing.. it's been interesting here.. although, i must say.. a lot of controversy

Actually, white has a very solid position, I wouldn't worry much about unexpected moves.
