This is tough to calculate. I wish I had a chainsaw to cut back that tree. All options so damn passive.

Hm. Not totally convinced of this, but all other options seem to have more possible blowbacks. Somehow I was not able to punish your queer opening.

I have never studied set moves or openings.
I value my ignorance as a lesson in skinning cats.
Perhaps this early game is a case in point.

A bit early to resign, I would say.

And do not trust the formula - that is no Reti opening, really, it is not, in no way.

Formula? Reti opening? WHAT?!

edit:
*googles*
*dies of jargon*
