Ok, so here is the story: as I said before I played in a chess club for about 4 years, about 4-5 people really interested in the game: discussing games, reading books etc. And about 5 kids just having fun moving pieces. But I reached a level that I couldn't lose to anyone and couldn't beat a better player. So I had to decide- devote more time to it going further or just leave it due to lack of time(school). I managed to reach sth like 2nd category lvl which was quite nice among 14-18 y old kids but now is rather "fufu" if you consider how much time I lost. I think that calling me a beginner is quite a good term for the place where I am now. Back to moves: I think we should give Lance more time to show up. And, yes-c7-c6 is a bit out of the general rules you have given.
PS
h, now I got it! I thought you are going only to play without helping so when I saw your "lecture" I called you a teacher. But it didn't reffer to quality of what you said only to the idea of saying this
