You actually have to type in your email to login, though most people have a browser that will let you save login and password information so that you do not have to type it in every time you login.

I am not really surprised when white plays 2. e4?? which is bad in the Grob at the best of times then 3. Qf3?? After those 2 moves it is all downhill.

Perhaps you can devote a small amount of time to explaining to him the strategic and tactical ideas behind the Grob so this gross error is not played again.

Yeah, i know that but this is my first tournament that i finished a game in so i just wanted to post it. 🙂

Edit: I guess i can play a friendly game with him and explain what i know about this opening, although i am no expert in it.
