I also want to point out that I have recently joined Clan 24544 & upon joining immediately PM'd Dragon Fire, explaining that I did not want to join the clan league because of my gameload, but I was happy to play a few challenges.

Peice of cake. When we play (and we will) I dare you to play 1. ... c5
I nearly always play 1...c5 after 1.e4.
(I also play 1...e5 the odd occasion).
Just a point DF you should follow the games of a guy who plays in our League called Ben Hague, he is one of the top Morra Gambit players in the country, and he also play the Kings Gambit!
Thinking about it you are not him are you? 🙂 Although ECF he is 209.

Consider what his rating would be if he we playing on here! When you consider David Tebb's ECF is 187, which is ELO 2096 and on this site he is over 2300!
