On Friday night, I managed to set the clock on my chess VCR to midnight. That is to say, I finally got back to zero; I've now won as many games as I've lost. I'm hoping I can get over to the plus side of the ledger, like monvieux has, and never look back.
Now that I've played nearly 200 games, I decided to do some analysis of how I've fared playing various openings. My best opening by far is the Queen's Gambit Accepted (QGA), which I've only played as White; I'm currently 8-3-2. My worst opening by far is the first two moves of the Ruy Lopez (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6). Note that these are also the first two moves of the Giuoco Piano. I've played this opening 41 times, 7 times as White and 34 times as Black, and am a miserable 16-25 with it. Is it any wonder I prefer 1. d4? :-)
neostreet: 1205 (91-91-10 (192))
monvieux: 1308 (293-235-15 (543))
