Originally posted by adam warlockI'm ok with that, though I'm struggling with 32 G.I.P at the moment.
When I have two free slots I would like to play the black side of the smith-morra against you guys DF and Squelch. That is if you guys would like to play it against me.
Edit: unrated games that is. 😳
I would say beware if you follow lines in a database which show good results for black, because they often have mistakes by white which can easily be corrected. Most are simple move-order mistakes by players making their Morra moves by wrote regardless of the black defence.
If you are playing without any help at all, good luck.
I hope you like being a pawn up but & on the defensive all game!
Morra as black = eeugh!

The main reason I want to this is to have some experience against some strong opposition. The sicilian is my main defence against 1. e4 and I think I'm bound to see this game at OTB play some time. I just want to know what I'm headed too.

Note dear z00t I was not beating up on 1500s here. Expect you didn't realise I could win against such highly rated opponents.
