explain

Like, say you've got a rook on the same file as the opposing king, but one of your knights is between the two. You can move the knight, causing a check from the rook and letting you move your knight again while he is busy dealing with the check. So you can basically pick off any piece your knight can get to in two moves.

i've started really enjoying blitz chess. correspondence is still my jawn, but anything under 3 minutes is really exciting

This is a pretty cool move I learned straight out of a book, if black gets too aggressive with his knight in the opening:

I've got his queen.

How about d5 instead on Nf6? You're reviewing a game between a 1200 and a 1400, its probably 2 kids in elementary school.

It's me.

I'm not saying it's the end all be-all, but if you get a guy being over aggressive, it's a nice way to get his queen/basically win the game. Even if he goes d5, you will still win a pawn and ultimately get superior position.

Lethal used his ninja training to crush your soul right there

by **lethal** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 15:30:31

Whoops! I didn't notice the names, just saw the ratings

I agree, black's in bad shape even with d5, but it isn't the instant death of losing the Q.

by **td11** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 17:00:19

so i'm black here... it's his move right now so i'm sure he's going to move his queen out of danger, but what should my strategy be here? try and get my closest pawn promoted? or advance either the G or H pawn to try and force checkmate? halp

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:33:05

I would try and get one of your pawns promoted, but it will be tough.

It's kinda funny how getting a person's queen early is obviously great, but you usually spend a lot of tempo doing it, and then you've got to play some pretty furious defense for a while after.

I think c6 would be an interesting move. If you eventually do Bxc6, you risk Qc4. Watch out for that.

by **td11** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 00:23:27

so this is where we stand now. it's pretty much over, i reckon. (it's his move)

by **td11** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 15:43:52
