Sorry to take so long. You know how catious I like to be<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0> The position is a little frightening especially after watching Smash and Anand play such a complex game. So since you like my setup so much, I'm going to change it a bit.
Funnily enough I do like classical play. In fact I've gone back to 1. d4 in some games on the net recently. For this game, I felt I had to try one more time with the English Defense. If it had (or even if it has) transposed into a QID I probably would not have recognized it because despite a lifelong love of the fianchetto (mainly on account of the sound of the word<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>), I've never played QID.
edit: I just realized my move is a blunder at the moment I pressed the button. I was only looking at some bits of the board
. Oh well. We can play again?
