Would be no problem for me to create little test suites with certain openings people would like to see. With ChessBase this is very easy. Anyway I am big fan of Harry Schnapp´s work. So maybe with Harry´s help we could pick some of the best lines from his suite and run a theme tournament or people just tell here what they are interested in and I write to Harry for proposals regarding lines. My own favourites by the way would be the Sicilian Dragon and some King´s Indian lines. Proposals are welcome, but I would prefer not to pregive more than 12 moves, hating really those almost analyzed to death by chess theory. So something still being unclear or en vogue currently. Best Regards Heinz
