You equalized me easily in our first game, let's see how this one goes!
Good luck and have fun Paul!

I think if you are going to beat Paul as white you have to try something besides 1.e4 e5 he is pretty good at this defense. Hints why if we play in WBCCC I'll probably go with 1.Nf3 or d4

any chance of you making a move shortly.
Yeah, these positions are really problematic (and I find impressive the huge difference that it makes that I can't play Qb6 here!) and I really don't like the move I'm playing, but I couldn't find anything better...

Against me you will get no counterplay,out of interest i was going to play after b4 14.Ne2
great fun.
> i was going to play after b4 14.Ne2
Oh, surely I should have played b4 if I knew that
well i should have said i was thinking about playing 14.Ne2.
>13...b4 was interesting
Sure my final green book move is 13...Rg8 but must admit my book needs updating in certain lines these days

i expect to win now,that will wind you up.
I don't know if you have a won position yet, but you are surely better. I had a different move in mind that Uly didn't play/mention on move 13.
what move Jimmy?
I was just looking at my book for a minute. It was an untested move so I can't say for sure if its best or not. Paul would probably want to look at it.
well,if you tell us what move is,we can see if it is a working move or not...and keeping in mind that now Uly cant play that move,i think both of that players playing that game dont be angry if you tell that move that you think that can be played on 13 black's move
