Heck yea, the Queen makes for great bait! This is by far my favorite opening as White ... too bad I get annihilated by an opponent who enjoys playing it as much as I do .

After seeing the two NFL Championship games last night, I have a slightly new opinion about G14. Teams who utilize supercells alot are more like the Ravens/Steelers game -- defensive strategy is key, and they'll just hold on until the end. Robots and feelings will get hurt along the way, and overall it's a very drawn-out game.

Yet teams who utilize their robots to score more with moonrocks and only a couple of supercells are more like the Cardinals/Eagles game -- more potential for awe-inspiring game-winning plays that get the crowd going.
