if so then i think Nick should get a message over to Ray with the name of the unit before it starts making moves
Yeah - keep it secret. :P
then at the risk of me volunteering Nicks services again..
please send Nick a PM with Ray's Email Addy and then perhaps Nick will disclose the name of the unit to Ray when he has a free moment

we cant tell you the name as you are voting

2.Nf3 is the forum's move. I've relayed it to Ray. We await Daydreamer's response.

The d1 bishop is awkwardly placed and we'll need to think about how our opening play will best facilitate its development. Otherwise we could find it getting in our way. It could well be that a plan involving c3 and d3 might be better than b3 at this stage. Just a thought.

Nothing necessarily wrong with b3. I've been looking at it since move 1. :wink:
Don't worry - the gun is away for now. :lol:

Well I must admit my first temptation was to say d4 but I was afraid you might all think it too agressive :)
