1...Nf6 has the majority vote and I'll go along with that. Hopefully a KID.

Well there is a compromise. If we agree on a Rat in one game and a KID in another than maybe everyone will be happy.

Hi Hans:

OK - I'll be reasonable. I'll once again change my vote back to 1...Nf6, just to confuse Alex !

Hello and Bonjour to all at Chess Talk!

For total votes:

1) Nf6 - 7 votes, counting Bob's switch

2) c5 - 2 votes

3) f5 - 1 vote

I'm double checking with Toolsie concerning a voting deadline, so get your votes in soon!

Should be expecting a vote from ChessForums by Friday, or Saturday at the least.
