May-24-10  williscreek: During the May 24, 2010 U.S. Championship broadcast Ashley said that this was home prep and that he played slowly to disguise that fact.

  WannaBe: I tend to use this against the French, if 4...dxc4 5. Bxd4 and I have development, plus it gets black out of book relatively quick.

Since I am too lazy to study how to handle the French, I try to go off book ASAP. =)
