Anybody interested in a new game?

[GenghisK]

Uh, yes but I forgot to tell you THAT was my move

[stormerne]

I just noticed you've changed your profile! Nice one

OK, it seems I have half a dozen reasonable moves I can make here, so it mostly depends on strategy. I'm choosing the one that seems most natural to me but still gives strategic flexibility.

9. Bd2 Bc5

[GenghisK]

Well, I'm starting to leave my king dangerously uncovered but it's too late to go back... I'll play a useless move, anyway.

10. c3 ...

Genghis K.

 

[stormerne]

Never mind your king, your last move takes away the cover from your queenpawn! I shall be ruthless and take it.

10. c3 Qxd3
11. ...

 

[GenghisK]

I think the end is quite near now. I'm playing like a pig. Anyway.

[stormerne]

I don't think the end is near yet! But you are giving me the opportunity to simplify, which must decrease your chances of equalising. I don't mind exchanging queens.

10. Qe2 Qxe2

[GenghisK]

No much choice..

13. a4 ...
Ok, that's a really stupid wasting move but I didn't find anything more interesting and clever to play!

No, serious, I'm not inspired.

 

[stormerne]

It's not as stupid as all that, though perhaps it means you have no plan. I still have a few useful things to do, so I shall do one of them!

[GenghisK]

you won't surely believe me but I didn't find anything wiser. The other moves would have endangered more my king...
16. g4 ...

Come on Stormerne, let's bash me quick so I can concentrate my neurone for Kira's game.

Yeah I've got only one neurone alive left

Genghis K.

 

[stormerne]

Can't do the quick finish Khanh, but a win is a win is a win!

16. g4 Rab8
17. ...

 

[GenghisK]

Ok, my first offensive! (and last one too

)
14. g4 Rab8
15. g5...

sorry I got wrong in my moves count...


------------------
Genghis K.

 

[stormerne]

Don't worry, I'm not offended!

I will take your attacking pawn.

15. g5 hg

If you retake the pawn with your bishop, I will retreat my knight. (If you don't retake, what I do will depend on your move.)

16. Bxg5 Nh7
17. ...

If that's what we both do, I believe our position looks like this. Do you agree?

[GenghisK]

True. As true as I'm really now in a critical situation! Ok, let's manage to resist harder, though. You won't have my head soon, noble Viking

(cf. post This is me)

17 Be3 ...

 

[stormerne]

Critical? No

But I'll exchange a piece that has moved three times for a piece that has moved once.

[GenghisK]

18. Kxe3...

I'm a poooor lonesome King, and a long long way from home

------------------
Genghis K.

 

[stormerne]

But where is home for your king now?
Well the home for my knight is not on the edge. There's a saying in British Chess: "A knight on the rim is dim", so I'll move it nearer the centre.
