I'm almost tempted to end our current game and give this a chance, but I still need to work out the setup.

"Almost tempted" you said.... Well is it "almost" or are we done? :D I'm perfectly happy with continuing for now, if you want to. And if you don't, then that's OK too.

I'm very certainly close to calling it quits, and let me explain why. I cannot see a single move that I can do that will be beneficial. I have two options: try to break through your defense, but likely at what will ultimately be at my expense for little to no gain; make time wasting moves hoping you'll try something bold and thus expose yourself.

This illustrates my point about games that are too defensive. There comes a point where no one really wants to move. I have nothing I can do to try to break through your fortress without losing powerful pieces, and likely it will be a failed attack, while you have nothing you can do little to try to break through, except maybe try to drop some of those pieces you're holding behind my lines, but then I doubt that will do much for you in the long run either. It's too defensive a game. We need more offense compared to defense.
