Alright, I'm sorry once again that you did all that work and I wasn't able to play. Busy day, and when I thought I had a few moments and wrote a couple other replies, a sudden serious challenge came up at work and kept me busy for a while longer. I didn't get home till almost 10:00, close to 15 hours after leaving home.

Don't worry about it. I had a busy evening, so I wouldn't have been able to play either, even if you could have.

Anyway, I guess I should have seen your plan because it was wise and I guess I wasn't paying attention. It was good work, and I'm a little bummed that I made you reconsider your work. But now I know your secret, so I guess we'll have to play the other route. It looks like a viable strategy as well.

Oh, well, I think I can make this strategy work too.

You know, now thinking about it, if you don't like the direction this is going, we can try for the other, and I'll commit to my original plan of dropping a pawn at 5d, though I know the dangers of doing so.

I think I'm fine with just continuing as we are. If we went back, you'd know what my plan was, so you might be able to stop me before I can execute it fully. I *think* the way I'm going will work just fine. :)
