CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I like the dutch, 1...f5, although it may not be totally totally sound, it depends what level you are playing, its probably not wise to try 1...f5 against GM's, but its quite good at a club level for shock value if nothing else.

Yep I was kinda looking for a dfence that givess a psychological adavantage, I've been browisng through Batsford's Chess openings, but I can't seem to see any lines that really spring out at me.
I dpn't think I have to worry about GMs
, except perhaps on Matser challenge on WCN.

Hmmmm, you're on WCN are you? What's your ID / rating? I'm Warren Peace on WCN too, my rating is usally between 2250-2350.
I generally play the Gruenfeld, but if I need to secure a half point I'll play a slav or a semi-slav.
On WCN Master challenges (when I'm the Master) I'll play pretty well anything, often 1.d4 c5. Most sub-1800 players on WCN don't follow thoery in fast games, so playing a Gruenfeld in a MC game is kind of pointless in my mind.

I won't say my rating needless to say it's MUCH lower than 2250-2350 .
I usually prefer to play slightly longer games and my game is usally tactically solid (at leats formthe level I'm playing at), but I often finind myself floundering against d4 because I'm less famlair with the openings.
