Hi Robbie. No, I'm not Steve Lopez. However, I decline to comment on whether I'm Alex Bangiev. 😛 It WOULD be cool if Steve could make a post or two while he's reading this thread. (Hint, hint, Steve.)
20...g6... I also looked at f6... anything to give the Black King some breathing room! At work now, though; don't have any notes with me.

My god! Do you crave attention or something?
once i thought that to be unassuming was virtuous , or so i thought, clearly my thinking was quite erroneous? do you also read minds? what about books? can you tell what i am thinking now? who is your god? you see, 'its not all about me'.

Does this method work in all positions?
