While at the local supermarket cue, I got on thinking. So even in the opening it could matter. Think about fianchetto-ing your bishop: you move your b or g pawn and then your opponent keeps refusing your bishop move. On the other hand your king pawn opening seems to gain merit, think about the scandinavian, 1.e4 d5 and then you can merely move 2.c4 for example (not sure if it is actually good) as you can always refuse the capture. Point being it is not just choose the second best move, every move has new posibilities. I honestly think this game is more strategic than tactical by comparisson the orthodox chess, or at least is something else both strategically and tactically despite the state space of the game being the same :)!
