Just to be clear, this is a normal game–if the Moscow blitz looks to be failing, I may swing west, or do something else entirely. Something to keep in mind…

If you don’t mind playing me again, I’ll give it a shot.

I will scramble in SZ110 (if you accept)

Hey, my old friend! Thank you, would be glad to play you once more.
