opening. I spent about 4 minutes thinking here and decided to play an opening

the immediate d4 here gains a tempo} 4. Bg2 $6 $11 {my opponent let me off} a6

the Bishop will drop back to the a7 square.} 5. O-O Nc6 6. d4 Ba7 7. Nc3 O-O 8.

pawns on gxf6 and keeping on queens is so good for Black it looked dire to me.}
