Quoting for new page. We can also just ignore the Bishop. Sure, it'll kill a pawn and put us in check, but then we just move to the right and then the Bishop can't really do anything.

Trading a knight and a pawn for... what, exactly?

QxC6. I propose we trade queens. Their queen is more important for offence than ours is, given their king is so much better defended. We take it out, we protect ourselves from losing. Of course, it also decreases our chances at winning. This is the point we decide whether we're aiming for a draw or a win, and I think right now it's more feasible that we draw. Alternatively, I suggest Bishop to F6. This gets our bishop in position to take that pawn and actually develop once the enemy move in on it along with defending the right hand side of the board. AJ_Impy posted:Trading a knight and a pawn for... what, exactly? To get pieces in position while they take inconsequential pieces. Bishops are worth much more than a knight IMHO, and they've sacrificed that bishop for a knight and if they go for the pawn or back off, they'll have sacrificed important developmental moves, hence my suggestion of Bishop F6.

Pxc6. Let's not overcomplicate things; this is a straight-up trade, nothing more and nothing less.

It bones us a little for the center, but helps us in a different way too since we get a good pawn placement. Can't let that bishop live now that it's getting uppity. bxc6

Crosspeice posted:...xc6? And unless I'm seeing things wrong (a strong possibility), that would place our queen in a good position to fork their knight and remaining rook. At which point we own the back row, place them in check, and anything they do to stop us just hands us another piece and puts them back in check. Presumably that means they'd be smart enough to not do that in the first place, but you never know. Also xc6.

Bit upset nobody even considered moves other than Pawn takes C6, it's very clear that's what the opposition will have planned for. It's not a strong move, but it's not a wholly awful one either. I was really hoping somebody would have thought of something better than it.

Sometimes you get in an uppercut, sometimes you just trade blows. If you're always just looking for a haymaker and not working on your bread and butter punches, you'll lose every time.

If I were them, I'd go D5. This would invite a whole number of bad situations for us. Whatever we do, we must not move that knight from its position. If not, the enemy bishop can get into a position where it can take our rook and we'll be forced to move it somewhere which is a waste of a move. E: Disregard, just noticed we can literally just move a pawn up to block the gap.

If I were White, I'd go Qf5+. That'd gently caress our day up real quick-- either we move that rook and put it in immediate danger, or we move our king out of harm's way. Either way, that jacks up our future planning.

Pawn to C5 sounds good to me. Allow me to clarify. They cant take with D4, else it'll lead to checkmate. Therefore, added pressure there will weaken them.

How about H6? Start opening an avenue for our rook if necessary. Also, could we move Queen to E7 and then Pawn to E4? They would be forced to move their queen back or risk losing it.

Welp. Predictable. Let's try left field? Go for h5, Ng4, check the king with the queen, make them move king to f1, fork with Nh2, take the queen? D corridor is now so well defended, we're not breaking that regardless. Gives us somewhere useful to put f knight as a bonus.

Yeah, might as well go with h5. We've pretty much effectively been playing against a chess computer so far, as I can't recall having seen white make a single mistake so far in this game. And as black, you really do have to have white make a mistake if you want more than remis. Let's at least keep it interesting for the home stretch.

Pawn to h5 is fine, we can also be way more aggressive and go Bb4, or even Qa5, though it is dissuading more aggressive plays.

Nice piece of fish posted:Ne4. Gets us nothing but minus a pawn. If we move our pawn to E4 and the queen takes it, our knight can take the queen from that position. The worst they can do is move her one square over to put us in check, which takes one move of the king to take us out of. Any other moves would put their queen in danger or let us start developing that side of the board.

Bb4 is more immediate pressure but h5 is more unexpected I think, with the line of play fish laid out.
