Answer 1

@dan815

Answer 2

This is from a very theoretical position Gruenfeld Defense. Having white pieces, Nakamura (American GM) used \(Bc1 - d2 \)

Answer 3

hmm nc6 or bg7

Answer 4

or nb6

Answer 5

pick one

Answer 6

bf5 desnt seem bad either

Answer 7

nvm bf5 is bad lol

Answer 8

This is why you always want to take your moves back because you do not think each variations through. One move must be superior than the others at some point, so pick one.

Answer 9

interesting

Answer 10

well why cant they all be about equal lol

Answer 11

ok ill do bg7

Answer 12

castle and try for play on queen side

Answer 13

get my 2 knights workined on that side with 3 pawn push there

Answer 14

that's very logical and safe. it allows the bishop to take the center whilst allowing a king-castle side and threatening the pawn.

Answer 15

now what would be the best move for white?

Answer 16

he wants to prolly play e4 or take the knight and play e4 and try to make that bishop on that g7 useless in the future

Answer 17

get a rook on the open file

Answer 18

fianchetto must not be undermined

Answer 19

or take knigght after queen takes then check with queen then put a bishop on c4

Answer 20

that is one of the main lines that Nakamura delayed, e2-e4

Answer 21

oh wait that doesnt work becauase now bishop is on g7 so queen can just take the pawn anyway after bcc4

Answer 22

so what is the best move for black?

Answer 23

id go nb6 i dont wanna capture that knight hmm

Answer 24

good for you, laughing out loud
so what is the best move for white?

Answer 25

cuz hed prolly take with the bishop.. and eventually trade off for my fianchetto bishop

Answer 26

eventually leaving a backward pawn but my king will be worse off too

Answer 27

who has the control of the center?

Answer 28

white after e4

Answer 29

buutt we do have flanks and some freaks avaiable later

Answer 30

black is trying indian opening
if i were black, il trade knights

Answer 31

why is knight taking a good move though

Answer 32

is it because nb6 is bad for later it hapens our pawn pushes later on

Answer 33

it hampers*

Answer 34

one of gruenfeld variations end up with trading knights, good for you, @rational

Answer 35

having black bishop outside is always bad for white

Answer 36

thats from experience, cant prove it though

Answer 37

i see

Answer 38

that is to disrupt the monopoly of center game

Answer 39

lets play again rational :)

Answer 40

so what is the goal really? always about getting those four squares in the center, right?

Answer 41

yes i see :)

Answer 42

i guess i havent focused on that much lel id just give it up and try to do flanks

Answer 43

you made an interesting suggestion earlier about \(Bc8-g4 \) I think

Answer 44

flanks are good, but that is after you've considered taking measures about the center. flanks are quite easy to stifle and sometimes you end up trapped and cramped in that area specially when inexperienced.

Answer 45

learn from history that even in warfares, flanks are not the first to attack.

Answer 46

:) im READY!

Answer 47

i have learnt TODAY THAT COURAGE is the key to victory

Answer 48

lets playy rattionaall

Answer 49

you still fall into forks and skewers though

Answer 50

Answer 51

Answer 53

Answer 55

Answer 58

Answer 59

black to play

Answer 60

we could make it like a plug in like this

Answer 61
