Subject: Dice chess opening

Any opening strategy tips ? I usually start with the c-pawn (1.c4), so that the queen gets into the game and other pieces, rooks bishop and the king are still blocked ...

Pafl: I always like to start to move the "g" pawn up quickly - that way if you are lucky, you can capture the "f" pawn and capture the king the next move of the pawn.

Of course most of the time it gets blocked or the king moves, but I think it has worked out for me in a couple of games.
