Match for Chicago Industrial Chess League today.

I have white in my game on board 7 (only the first 6 boards count toward the result). I've been playing over a lot of Ruy Lopez games lately. Mostly just quickly over unannotated games to get a feel for the types of positions that come out of it (and a feel for how my database works!). I also read a bit of Watson's MCO on the Ruy. I think I'll try to play the Ruy with white and black. I think everybody needs to go through a phase where they struggle against the open games. Maybe I'm wrong. Kasparov said that when he first learned chess, he learned the first 20 moves of the Najdorf and that if somebody had taught him 1. ... e5 first he would have never gotten over 2000.
