It's supposed to be a contradiction, hence the redundant remark that one may be accused of being English if they use English notation, which is also a jab at the English, whom I love and also love to make fun of.

I guess I'm not as funny as I thought I was.

Thank you for extending me the courtesy of the first move. I just hope I can make it pay off. <crosses fingers>

Before we begin I should warn you that my responses may take much longer than they previously have. I've gone back to work for the railroad and I'm on-call for the very busy Ft.Worth-Oklahoma City run since I posted this thread. My moves may take up to four days to post. If at any point I take too long to make a move you may dismiss the match and we'll play again later.

I'm going to make a departure from my previous opening move intended to free up sqaure e2.
