CHESS: Subsim team versus Letum

If i might interject my newbie thoughts,

I'd be more inclined to move the Bishop from F8-D6. Essentially for the same reasons as USLC pointed out, in that this piece can protect the kings pawn and in doing so free up the queens knight, but moving the bishop has the added advantage that you are a piece closer to castling.

yes, but-you block the d pawn from moving. Bishop's best position is not in front of e-d pawns.If I find some time today I will scan an useful diagram showing the main idea of fighting for the center. Also IMO queen move is not good enough. We should consider developing our light pieces before powerful ones. Back to castling-as Skybird said-0-0 is more safer than 0-0-0 BUT are you sure you want to move your king toward white queen on that flank?!
