assistant: MGs Joe,
 Just like to butt in if you'll excuse me...
llows
 I take your point, but would like to point out that many beginners (and
 some not-so-beginners) like to play with black. I believe it's because
 having the second move allows you to respond, to react and be
 constantly thinking about what your opponent is doing. With white,
 especially if you're told early on that the white pieces are an
 advantage, you'll be likely to over-reach yourself believing that you
 must attack as white rather than worrying about quite reasonable
 attacks from the other side.
 I think it is quite important to allow beginners to come to their own
 conclusions. If they are desitined for GMhood then they'll probably
 see the advantage of the first move, but telling them what 'should be
 best' will be as likely to stiffle creativity as playing too often with
 the black pieces.
        There, I've finished, I'll blend back into the background now,
        Dave

assistant: Hi Ryan,
??? I don't understand.
ok
I don't understand the system of your moves. You made two moves. You
guessed my moves.
Let's have a look at the games:
game 1:
Little - Mauro
1. e2-e4 d7-d6  2. ???
If your move was Ng1-f3 I will play Ng8-f6.
game 2:
Mauro - Little
1. e2-e4 e7-e5  2. Ng1-f3 Nb8-c6
Is that right???
If yes --> My 3th move is Bf1-b5.

have never played professional or anything so like you totally unrated. But
I will give you a game if you like - are you familiar with algebraic
