Personally, I still want to see Gotham play the Catalan since it&apos;s my favorite but he&apos;s already played 27 unique openings for us! Make sure to show him some appreciation and remember to have a nice day :)

  That last game was epic. I love this middle section of the slow run - we’re at about my level now and it’s absolutely fascinating
