First C-Z, first attempt to display flash viewer

[Blue Devil Knight]

Not a pretty game, but my hunch is the a6/b5 theme from black will be one I will see often in this opening.

Apparently the below is not showing as a flash game, so here's a link:
My First C-K

The following will show as a game if this site supports the apps...(and <b>html</b>):
<div><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://chessflash.com/releases/latest/ChessFlash.swf" width="100%" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://chessflash.com/releases/latest/ChessFlash.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value='orientation=H&tabmode=true&light=eeeeee&dark=777777&border=ffffff&bordertext=0&headerbackground=ffffff&headerforeground=0&mtbackground=ffffff&scrollbar=0&pgndata=1. d4 d5 2.

Shucks.

Hey BDK,
I totally missed this thread! I'm sorry about that!

I've put the game on our viewer here.
