But I am glad I open with 1d4... :lol:

Actually, I have something against that too.
Unfortunately, I have lost the scoresheet to my fifth round game
against Anthony Andrews. It must have fallen out of my pocket while I
was watching the final ninth round games on Sunday, because I remember
pulling out that scoresheet and looking at it.
If you are in contact with Mr. Andrews, please ask him to send me the
score of that game. It was another very badly played game on my part,
but I would still like to have the moves so that I can determine what
I did wrong.

The opening of the game went approximately as follows:
1. d4 d5 2. e3 Nc6 3. c4 e5 4. cxd5 Qxd5 5. Nc3 Bb4 6. Nge2 Bg4 7. f3
Bxf3??? 8. gxf3 Qxf3 9. Rg1
