report</a>. } { Other information: Note: &ldquo;In three of my games from
the 50+ Irish championship, I go to play suggestions from @Kaldas90
&#91;Kamil Plichta&#93;. None gave me a big advantage but all made my
opponents go into the tank, trying to decide on the many options available.
Thanks Kamil. I owe you another drink.&rdquo; (<a

&ldquo;Here's an early example of your QGD suggestion working in the field:
&#91;citing this game&#93; I took my foot off the pedal, once I got my big
position, and I was certainly lucky my opponent didn't push his b-pawn
which could have made things difficult.&rdquo; (<a
