Yes. Open e4 at first.

[ottok]

DrSpike:are you sure?

[DrSpike]

g3 is viable, but e4 openings should be the first you try as white, until you have played for a while.

[ottok]

so e4-e5 is populatest start?

I would pick e2-e4 over g2-g3 anytime!

Narz,

We were a couple of Apolytoners who played chess regularly (until about a year ago?). IIRC it was here in the Other Games forum that we set up the games.

You might want to PM these guys to lure them into your forum: Smash, Julius Brenzaida, kcbob, Ken Hinds.

Julius is the undisputed champ. We couldn't even draw against him!

Tuomerehu, I am looking into that problem. Does anyone else get that message ("Column count doesn't match value count at row 1") when trying to register? Also, did you try both Netscape and I.E. (not like you should have to do this but I'm just curious, perhaps its a browser problem).

Anyway, I mentioned it on the XMB Help Forum so hopefully I will soon understand why that happens for some people and be able to resolve the problem.

Let me know if you are able to successfully register and what you did differently for it to work. Thanks!

Not a bad idea. I know Smash, he plays in the CFC forum also. I will PM the other guys, thanks!

Note : Having Problems

Yep, I'm getting the same damn messege : "Column count doesn't match value count at row 1" with either I.E. or Netscape, don't know why this is. Hopefully I will get an answer soon...

Sorry to anyone who filled out their form and couldn't register...

[RGBVideo]

IE 5.5
I first thought that I hadn't filled all necessary parts of the registeration page, but that didn't seem to be the case...

I know him too, I've played against him. I lost, and that happens quite frequently, to put it blunt

[ottok]

But why i lost when first i mowed e4 but if i begin g3 i win?

[DrSpike]

To tell the truth openings don't matter that much for beginners and even intermediate players, because it takes a tremendous amount of skill to retain any opening advantage throughout a game and carry it to its fullest potential.

But the type of positions that come from e4 are indisputably the type of positions you should master first. g3 and Nf3 type openings are perfectly playable (though perhaps you lose some of your possible opening advantage) but they are more positional in nature, and lead to a completely different style of game to e4.
