As far as Roberto's analysis, he is going to lose his first Falcon Chess 
in Game Courier because he cannot castle. The first ten moves in that game 
have been the ugliest ever(out of hundreds of games since 1992)when he 
unexpectedly advanced four central Pawns(for which I do need to think 
of a better defense in future). It has been a formless opening 
with no piece development. What Black is doing is good enough to win because 
some nasty forks are brewing. So 'weakness' of Bishops' long diagonal 
comes about because of the bizarre, imprecise opening moves that should 
backfire. Sorry this comment belongs in Kibbitz.
