We will also give those games in the replay zone if you agree and send them. Anyone else can also contribute. Should only be tournament time control and not adapted. The first Scandinavian line looks suitable to me. I will download and check latest games from "The Week and Chess" (TWIC) and other sites in order to have an estiaaiton here and will also calculate the winning percentages here. The second variation is a bit too long for what I would like to see. Yes, the Dragon and King´s Indian have to be included over the time. The most breathtaking games I ever saw are exactly with those. Best Regards Heinz
