George, you may be right in that my impressions about some possible weaknesses are due, fundamentally, to some things I have seen in the ongoing game in base to the opening moves, and it is also very possible it is a bizarre opening in the Falcon Chess parameters, but, remember, this is my first contact with the game, and I´m playing by instinct and not by any previous knowledge of the game. To be sincere, I believe I have not played so bad the unconventional opening. If I´m going to lose to win is not very important for me, I think this is the spirit of every normal player in every place of the world, I enjoy the game play I see in a game, independently of the results, and a victory can add a bit more happiness sometimes and depending on the circumstances, but not much more, never much more than losing an interesting good game, and you know this is the truth. I´m enjoying this game and much more because this is my first time I play it, and I must admit I have had great curiosity by this game in the past. Is my 'opening' so bad?. I´m not sure, I feel that your position is more incomodious than mine for the moment, although my King is much more vulnerable. In every case, let me be happy playing this, my first Falcon game, as it is for now, perhaps I could make more dynamic initial moves, but you are going to see strong action very soon. In other opportunity I´ll try to make more conventional first moves to see what happens.
