Smash-A_Bashkuev 2

[Smash]

Revenge is a dish best served cold


1.d4

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Sure thing. I will try to keep my head in a bowl with ice-cubes.

1.d4 d5

 

[Smash]

LOL..I don't see how that improves your play but what the heck.Maybe some secret Russian chess technique?

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3

 

[A_Bashkuev]

It's paraphrase of some very old & sad Russian joke:
Regularly try to wash your hands, to drink vodka for your heart warming & to put your head in a bowl with ice-cubes - maybe you will be taken in Cheka - for one cause or another. (There is some motto of Bolsheviks internal forces: "Chekist must have clean hands, hot heart & cold head".)

But to our sheeps. I've already was very original then:

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6

 

[Smash]

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3

 

[A_Bashkuev]

OK.

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6

 

[Smash]

This is one of my favorite opening systems

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4

 

[A_Bashkuev]

OK.

I'm afraid I forget all nuances of this Chigorin's...

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6

 

[Smash]

I'm sorry to hear that

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3

 

[Smash]

Feel free to consult opening books or even database if you want.

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Dear Smash!

Excuse me for so long waiting - there was some sort of "short vacation" for me from my superiors (or fast business trip into St.Peterburg is you prefer it in that way).

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7

didn't consult any manuals - just realising some sound idea from my point of you

Sincerely yours, Alex.

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3


A vacation that was a business trip.Fascinating

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Yeah. Old Russian saying: "Wolf is fed by his own legs .

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0

I'm afraid it's slightly prematurely, but I've already had bad experience of staying by my King in the centre. Then - voila!

 

[Smash]

I think that is quite a logical continuation.I'm interested in your next move.

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0

 

[A_Bashkuev]

I'm in pieces completely. Iwant to do this & that & third thing in the one moment...
Well, I've got some decision:

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4

I have a feeling that I cut my own hand.

 

[Smash]

looks like a pretty normal move to me.

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4
8.Bxc4

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Just don't like to lessen pressure in the centre prematurely. Alas...

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4
8.Bxc4 Bd6

 

[Smash]

hehehe..I think e5 is in your schemes so there will be plenty of pressure in the middle soon

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4
8.Bxc4 Bd6
9.Nc3

 

[A_Bashkuev]

You are right of course, but I don't like my position after this development. I simply hate it!

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4
8.Bxc4 Bd6
9.Nc3 e5

When I speak about "pressure on centre" I mean my pressure - not yours. There is some difference for me, you know .

 

[Smash]

1.d4 d5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.e3 Nf6
4.c4 e6
5.a3 Be7
6.Bd3 0-0
7.0-0 dxc4
8.Bxc4 Bd6
9.Nc3 e5
10.d5
