So I sat down and tried to put together this session. I immediately realised why it wasn't such a natural thing to do, because the damn thing is so diffuse and complex. [I wouldn't dream of doing a session which I had narrowed down to "1.d4", even less so if there were vast transpositional possibilities.] Anyhow, here's tuppence-worth: A1.
