i was looking for b6, which would have allowed castle, and, however, the loss of a pawn, i think. im trying to go by memoryhttp://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif here, ill review topic:

im curious to the reason of the move c6 now. actually, nevermind. oh, hey, whites down a pawn. i didnt realize that. many chances for counterplay though.

Martin Schmidt

Jan 12, 2001, 03:36 AM

I can think of two reasons for the move c6 . First is to prevent d5 second is to free the Queen from protection of c7 , i expected c6 .

stellar converter

Jan 12, 2001, 09:15 PM

d5 is still quite possible, after whites next move, which i willnot say, because i may be accused of helping you. after that move, i do not see anything preventing d5. i might have expected b6, to release bishop. hes not going anywhere now, it seems.

Huh? Both 5..Be7 and 5..Bxc3+ are book. According to NCO (Nunn's Chess Openings) both lead to equality. As a tournament player I play the French myself, and always play 5..Bxc3+ in this line. I don't think I've lost a game with this as black yet.

That is maybe true but to me
5... Bxc3+
6.Nxc3...Nf6
7.f3...exf3
8.Qxf3...

seems to be a very dangerous gambit . Have you ever encountered this ?

Smash

Jan 16, 2001, 06:41 PM

Nc6 is kinda a "must play" in this line.The alternatives give white advantage early.

I didn't like the pawn grab but I kinda felt like I had to play it to justify Qd5.

Hmm interesting. No I haven't seen this before, but then I play 6..Nc6 which pretty much forces 7. Bb5. After that theory goes 7.. Nge7 8. Bg5 f6 9. Be3 0-0 10. Qd2 f5 and that's just the beginning http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif

I dont see a way to play for a win so i propose a draw.

Smash

draw agreed.1/2-1/2

Good hard fought game.The game was almost out of hand before I returned the pawn.After that I felt much better although my position was still difficult.

I thought I could get an edge with 41....Rd5+ but my "analysis" showed me different.What I looked at ended with black having an f pawn and white with a b pawn.Neither of which could successfully promote without the other doing the same.

Thanks for playing.
I think the decision to give the pawn back for queen exange was good. After that my winning chances where minimal because of the different bishops.
