Hmm... This get me to think about why so many old people use rubberboots when
they take a shower.

I tried this when I switched from 1.d4 to 1.e4 and had no rep. against the
Scandinavian (1.e4 d5).
I added the moves from Tennison variation (ChessCity ? ).
The copy job took just a little over an hour and it was suddenly not me but my
opponent that was out of book on the second move.
Of course you have to do a scandisk after some weeks, you know after this
plastic plates (that someone put's in the little coffee table on the computer)
have come for to stay the quality of old material isn't what it was.
