Yes, sure. One of the points I was trying to make to <chessgames.com> is that the position after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g7 provides many reasonable alternate continuations for Team White besides the Taimanov, should they prefer more positional lines. After all, it would be their choice. And given <chessgames.com> 6-move limit guideline for the number of pre-defined opening moves I couldn't suggest 7.f4 Bg7 8.Bb5+ as the opening position.

<chessgames.com> also wanted a "contentious" opening. As far as I'm concerned on this site the Modern Benoni itself is sufficiently "contentious" given the passion that both the White and Black-side advocates seem to have. Which, BTW, I consider to be a good thing. So starting the game from the position after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 would be fine with me also. All I'm trying to do at this point is to try ensure that the Modern Benoni, in any form, is on the list of openings that <chessgames.com> puts up for a vote, as well as starting to present arguments to try to convince the premium membership that this would be a good choice of opening. After all, there are a lot of great (and equally good) candidates to be considered. But the Modern Benoni has a history of "contentiousness" which I think most other good candidates lack, and that's one reason why objectively (if that's possible!) I consider it a good choice.

And id LOVE to hear what your reasons are for this latest deletion, because if you noticed i more or less PARAPHRASED one of your latest posts to Matebay!!!

I see chess isn't the only game you guys are playing, so please, genuinely, explain to me where i went wrong and what rules were broken and i'll apologise and not post here again?

And a few months ago, "The Boss", stated that even this site isn't his own personal soapbox, so when he speaks and i say exactly the same thing, how is it my post got deleted and not yours/his??

I GENUINELY thought i was helping, and seeing as he hasn't posted *here* since my post!!

If this is something personal, then feel free to email me..

If this is nothing personal then lets hear your reasons for the last post deletion..

Its only 3 days ago i was apologising to you and others for past wrongs, and you still deleted that..

It's a place for real members with real problems come for help. Each post should a new question, answer somebody else's question, provide a suggestion, or in some way be helpful.

Stonehenge had animated ads dancing on his screen, even though he turned them off. Wannabe had oddly thick lines appear at random. Kingscrusher had a great suggestion about automatic move-numbering posts. Annie K has a new batch of pronunciation files for chess player names.

After all of those *real* issues, there isn't any room left over to let users post long and numerous commentaries, must less get into side-arguments with one another.

We removed your messages by the authority that we own this Chessforum, not that you broke any CG policy per se. It doesn't mean you broke a rule, it doesn't even mean that we didn't agree with what you said, it just wasn't specifically helpful to the average reader of this forum.

Eric Schiller might assists you. ;)

But if you use the ignore function, you won't be able to see what i say..

But hey, take me off in a few days when hopefully things get back to normal and you'll see im not that bad a guy, and can actually be quite funny and helpful..
