Forgive my invasion but I wondered if Smash could comment a bit his tactics, so I'd be able to learn the way he plays and improve my chances resisting Stormerne a bit longer
Thanks. Since you are the best (and by far) player of the forum, I thought that some comments would be useful for beginners like me. Thanks again.
well....Shadowdale is racking me at this point but its tight.I think he could have held the pawn if he captured Qxb7 but I would get a ton of compensation for the pawn so he wisely declined.a4 is good because it prepares c4 which I beleive is destined to be occupied by a white knight.Makes b5 less attractive although that was not in my thinking so far.
I beleive I should have played more forcefully after Qc4.Gotta be a reason why its not played.Its not a terribly aggressive play but seems to work in an odd way.
I don't know how I am assumed to be good.I beat Stellar and his over aggressiveness.Had a tough draw against Martin.A decent game against anand then a blunder by Algernon.Not exactly dominating.
Take no notice Smash. GenghisK is just trying to wind us <u>both</u> up! And not even your comments will save him in the game between him and me.
This is an odd game! You've got clandestine Ruy Lopez style maneouvring in a Sicilian, and the opening is only just finishing.
Smash said "I beleive I should have played more forcefully after Qc4.Gotta be a reason why its not played.Its not a terribly aggressive play but seems to work in an odd way." I don't know the "official" answer to this one. I have to say I was rather surprised by your rather passive 6... Bd7. I think I would have smacked the white queen around some more. This is the kind of line that is just <u>begging</u> for Be6 + fianchetto of the other bishop at g7 + a full scale traditional Dragon style attack down the half-open c-file.
