Because of the trouble with Junior and the following re-pairing this was useless because Hossa got paired against Ferret. Therefore I voted against re-pairing. Dan, would have Shrike played Ruy Lopez with white? Well, maybe it wasn´t useless because the preparation is still in my book :-) I also made some preparations against TSCP which was successful. Hossa played a very bad opening in at least two games: vs PostModernist and Ferret. In both games the position was already so bad that the game was practically over. I didn´t expect to win against Ferret but at least I hoped that Hossa would show some resistance. And against PostModernist I thought that Hossa had a small chance to win. >My first opportunity for a bit of book-cooking was against Shredder.

Actually that´s what I am doing in an excessive way because Hossa´s opening book almost only contains self played games. Greetings, Steffen.
