Hello!

These thematic tournaments sound very interesting indeed, maybe more so than
just regular tournaments! I support both suggestions of the Orang Utan and the
Scandinavian, and I have a rather queer suggestion maybe: What about arranging a
tournament with 3...Qe5+ instead of 3...Qa5 in the Scandinavian? Jeremy Silman
at www.jeremysilman.com argues in an article that black is good after Qe5+, a
tournament with this move forced could be a very interesting argument in that
debate!

Let me know what you think! If I can help with anything, let me know!

Regards,
André
