Is there any way of reducing this threat in general? Making the move I think of would be against some other rules but it also depends on Letum's move. We probably won't avoid disrupting our pawns structure on that flank-that is normal for the opening made by Letum but you cannot force your opponent to make/not make desired move. If you have any software(Fritz for sure) it would show you that black can take big advantage of white 2nd move so USE IT!

do not use a calculating chess engine, here, Lance. Calculate yourself, else you just copy what the machine is saying - but you do not learn how to calculate yourself. But being able to calculate precisely some moves in advance is bread and butter of chess. Without it you can forget strategy and tactics and openings and theory and all and everything. Nothing replaces precise calculation. It is the very basis - that is why correspondence chess and using several boards, books, notes etc is such a great thing - no better way to learn in chess. Really! Correspondence chess is no second class chess - it is the superior form of chess.
Take your time. If this last three month, at the end of those three months you are still three months older, no matter if you played this match, or not.
You miss nothing by playing this.
