I´m interested in practicing some specific opening lines in 5 min. games against oppts rated about my level or (somewhat) above (FIDE 2032) on ICC or FICS.
Lines Im intersted in testing are (me white): Chebanenko Slav, Closed Sicilian with Be3+Qd2. Me black: McCutcheon French, 4...Nd7 Caro-Kann, the ...Ke7 Kamsky-Karpov line.
Basically to get some practice in these lines vs a non-computer and generating some ´feel´ for the resulting positions. I´d expect some theoretical preparation to be done and would ´reciprocate' in preparing some opening lines of your choice.

Hi Nezh,
ELO 2100. I'd be happy to do this on ICC in a couple weeks, once I finish with exams.
I really don't play any of these lines with relevant colors, so maybe we could make some modifications? i.e, I'd take the black side of the Closed Sicilian with ...e6 and ...d5. This said, I wouldn't mind learning some theory in the McCutcheon for white.

This (training against another member in specific opening lines) sounds like a good idea.
Keep up the good work.
