A22 English Opening: 1...e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 Bc5 4.Nc3 O-O 5.e3)

Complete madness has started, two posts so closely published that this is probably a personal record of mine getting things done so fast. There will be two more games I think from the Team 45 45 League still that I am going to share with you lot and after those I will start doing other games.
