I'd also request that the more experienced players please describe their moves and strategies in a way that 1's like myself can understand.

I vote D5 because we need a direct confrontation to show how dark and edgy we are.

Dr. Snark posted:poo poo, now I'm wondering what took White so long to decide on which pawn to move forwards. We ended up agreeing on the Scandi so quickly in comparison. Speaking as someone who doesn't understand chess beyond how the pieces move, this phrase is hilarious to me when we're at a point where the only moves made so far have been two pawns moving forward.

I have to agree with Knight to F6. I can't see any benefit to trying to trick them into a queen exchange when that could easily backfire and leave us without a queen.

Going to agree on Bishop to G4. Either the Queen takes the bait and gets whacked by our knight or they waste a turn moving a pawn in to block her.

I'm divided between Pawn to C6 (if they take the bait and have the bishop strike, it's able to be taken by the pawn nearby) and the other suggestion.

I'm going to finalize my vote for Pawn to C6. They have the option of either taking our pawn with their bishop and leaving it open to be taken by our pawn next door, or taking our pawn with their center pawn and blocking their check.

idhrendur posted:I'm also going to vote c6, but again, I have questions. Assuming they don't Bxc6 and put us back in check, or finally do something to counter our previous moves, why wouldn't we just take their queen? Sure, we lose a bishop in the doing, but that's a worthwhile trade, no? I'd say yes to taking the queen, but only if their next move isn't an immediate counter to C6.

I just suggested it because I saw like 3 outcomes for the next move that gave us a beneficial position each time. I don't know a single named strategy.

I actually do think Queen to D4 is best. It opens our queen to either bait their queen into being taken by our knight or let us put their king in check with our queen.

So what happens if they just use their pawn to capture our bishop?

I'm voting Queen to D4. If they don't move their king, we have an angle on check. If they do, we can hit other pieces.

I'm looking at Pawn to A6. They made trade their bishop for a pawn, or they may back off and give us an opening to keep advancing (the pawn can be kept at A6 to prevent the bishop from moving forward to try and strike again). One risk I'm seeing is that a few moves down the line, if they open up their A1 rook's path it has a straight shot to the king.

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.

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.

Dr. Snark posted:We're in check mate. That move's illegal. Are we? He didn't say we're in check. From what I understand of the rules, taking the king is an illegal move under our current rule set (you can only endanger him) so the knight can't actually do anything.

Davin Valkri posted:The knight on A7 is the checking piece. Also you HAVE to break the check if you're in check. Kb7 is more or less our only option...and also not great. Oh well. Can we get Covski to weigh in on whether or not we're actually in check since he didn't say we are?

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:The plus on Nxa7+ means check. You lose if the king is taken, hence why check forces you to cover the king (impossible against knights), kill the piece (we cannot do that right now) or move the king. I just wanted to be absolutely sure because he was being consistent about putting it in words, and he left it out this time. I also know practically nothing about chess notation.

AJ_Impy posted:Nice piece of fish suggested Bc5: I'll hear their reasoning before committing. I don't think so. The bishop can be taken by two different pieces and none of our pieces are in a position to capture in retaliation. We'd risk losing the piece for nothing.
