keeping it real
Mouseslip?
It's a system I've had some success with. It does block my bishop but it also blocks white's bishop. I usually don't like having the hole on d5 (or d4) but in this case it's usually ok.You seem to have no shortage of opportunities to play chess over there.
I am puzzled by you choice to play 6...e5. It looks sort of odd, not a typical move in the sicilian at all. An attempt to get out of theory?
In retrospect I'm not 100% sure why I did it. I think I was perhaps overly concerned with a pawn sacrifice at f5 (and giving my bishop extra space if necessary).The computer agrees with your 14...f6 but I don't understand it. What does it do? I would rather look at moves like Rac8 and b6 to clear the long diagonal or f5.
I am actually. Just a bit upset with myself for blowing it. True she is a 2300 player but her quick rating is just over 2000 & this was her first simul. Her performance rating for the event probably would have been about 1950. Thanks though, I thought it was a decent game & definitely an instructive one.Being ahead in evaluation against a 2300 player for almost the entire game is no small feat. In my opinion this is a game you should be very proud of. At least, I would be if it had been me.
I like my chocolate and iced coffees as well, so I don't get that much of a boost from the caffeine. When I quit drinking it, I usually go to sleep for a long period of time, so I try to use it only when I work a morning shift at work.Funny thing WE, I often bring chocolate to chess tournaments. I use 100% dark chocolate powder & mix it with some honey. Outside of chocolate I don't consume any caffeine so when I do it's powerful.
For some reason your PGN files never work right for me Panz.
