You too!

I just blundered away a win in my last game so I'm going to try to
not
do that this time

Hunh, I'm not quite so booked up on the Vienna game

so far I've found it to be pretty universally fun and exciting though, whether I've won or lost

I'm at least booked up enough to know this move

well, that is... highly disappointing, as taking on f4 is, I think, considered to be just winning for white

Yes, I learned that by playing it and losing :)

lol, I will say it's definitely been going remarkably better for me than Nf3 in blitz, but again that's mostly bc at my rating it gets accepted more often than it should (then again, I have twice blundered the move order afterwards in blitz games but still somehow ended up winning)

Oh, I know that feeling well, remind me to dig up one of my amazing failed queen sacs.
