I nearly always play the Dutch against d4 unless I go full-on stupid and respond with d5 or Nf6 and lose.
A nice game which I got from ForChess.

So early this morning (and I mean EARLY - being a senior citizen) settled down with my first cup of coffee .. 
Email dinging and there's one from ICCF. I subscribed to a tournament a couple of months ago (to start at month-end) called LOCKDOWN in honor of ICCF players infected with the COVID-19 virus. Opened the email, took a sip - almost choked .. .. 
fell off the chair. Normally ICCF will send you a listing of the section you're playing in and who's playing White against whom etc. Well this time the listing was huge and it was accompanied by this rather large crosstable. I started to cry .. 
.. 82 games - I didnt sign up to play 82 games .. 
What a dingbat - me that is. The crosstable was for the Preliminary Round and I was ONLY playing 12 games. Dont panic - I'm fine .. xrf03
OK so here's a game I'm winning - I'll leave you to figure where he started to go astray. He is the first recipient of my newly patented BOA CONSTRICTOR SQUEEZE - to be honest I think I would have resigned already.

At the time closer to registration I had quite a few games to play then of course the LOCKDOWN tournament added to my woes.
Keep me informed on the tourneys you join - hopefully if our ELO's are close we'll end up in the same section .. should be fun ..
EDIT : I need to check those - have they started already ?

Its a darn good thing that I am just a placid, non-violent, insignificant asshole that takes particular delight in attempting to pinch my wife's buttocks at the risk of ending up in Emergency. I say this .. check the game and you'll see why I havent turned into a raving lunatic .. yet !
