Hi John,
You overlooked the popular "Trompowsky" which i feel is a must have!

Are you including both lines in the "Center Counter", move #2...NKB3 and Qxd5?

I been playing hundreds upon hundreds of Center Counter and Trompowsky games
over the years, and if you need any help regarding these openings please feel
free to email me!

Regards,Terry
