(2007-05-15 22:19:52) cirulis ilmars : Brrrr... Be2 is better, because it is simpler. (2007-05-15 22:19:23) cirulis ilmars : Or Rah8. Maybe... (2007-05-15 22:18:31) devassal thibault : My Ne4 ?! maybe Qe4 (2007-05-15 22:17:51) cirulis ilmars : IMHO - Ne4 was a mistake.

IMO (2007-05-15 21:57:21) cirulis ilmars : Actually Be2 (instead of g4) is better and simpler. (2007-05-15 21:56:59) khachaturov vadim : lol (2007-05-15 21:51:57) cirulis ilmars : Still making stupid mistakes...
