Below are all the moves and in line comments of our two open chess match
warriors. If anyone would like to further annotate this game for the list I
can furnish a plain text file to start with. I may make such an attempt as
soon as I free up a board.
Game follows:

White occupies an important central square. He tries to control the black
squares.
1... d5
Black moves to control the center squares of the board. A "closed" game where
both Pawns have the immediate protection of their respective Queen.

center (squares d4,e5) perfectly.

Controls the black squares f4,h4; developing the bishop to g2 from where it
attacks the white squares along the h1-a8-diagonal (e4,d5).
3... e6
Black anticipates Whites Feinchettoed Bishop and gives additional protection to
its d5 Pawn and opens a path for its f8 Bishop to develop.
