Secrets of Opening Surprises

Feb-11-03    nicolas: what are the best free chess on line internet sites? thanks. Feb-11-03    Sneaky: I like freechess.org (FICS) ... you have to download software to use it properly but it attracts a large number of mostly strong players. Even the occasional GM. (By the way, you'll probably get more answers to that question if you move it to the kibitzer's cafe (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...) instead of the French, Tarrasch page!) Apr-16-07    gambitfan: OPOD 16/04/2007 Apr-20-08    whiteshark: Opening of the Day Team Black, take care! :D Apr-20-08    Red October: thanks for the <Advance> tip :) Apr-20-08    whiteshark: <RO> Think nothing of it! :^) Apr-21-08    whiteshark: Ooops! It can't be explained in any other way. :D
