 | | Phony Benoni: Perfect? Not by a long shot. white's first move disqualifies the game immediately. Black pursues his best course of trying to set up a Benoni, but mistimes everything horribly. The rook sacrifice on h7 is a standard idea, but it is unusual to see the a1-Rook delivering the shot while the f1-rook waits to deliver the death blow from the shadows. |

 | | ColeTrane: interesting how TX municipalities continued to use companies like soutgtexasweathermodificationassiciation to not only continue cloud seeding during these storms, but to increase the amount.... |

 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Black should probably have exchanged off the e4 knight while it was still possible, even though Bd3 could then be played with tempo. |

Though it's effectiveness is very much in doubt. Do you really think they were seeding clouds from Harvey? The areas seeded saw very little, if any, rain from Harvey. |
