But on the morning of July 12, Roman seemed to hit his stride. "And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head, and he fell to the ground."

AB is still thinking about how best to respond to 7(21)7[8-14]. There is an email game in progress that starts with this opening, which will hopefully settle the issue.
