This game I hope to significantly batter Rob, who I have managed but one draw in 6 games against. I start with the standard opening |

|
| |
|
|
1... g5
|
a response I haven't seen before |

|
| |
|
|
2. d4
|
I press for center board control |

|
| |
|
|
2... Bg7
|
he apparently wants to give me the pawn ~ |

|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3
|
since he is by far the better player i sense a trap and decline and continue to develop |

|
| |
|
|
3... h6
|
guess he changed his mind... |

|
| |
|
|
4. f4
|
i press to get him furhter off balance, figuring I am going to O-O-O at somepoint anyway. |

|
| |
|
|
4... c5
|
he apparently smells that and wants to Break that up. I really don't like this..At this point we are trading silly banter.
(rt4sm) I have a confession to make... i often hype up my opponent's play, i think it can get them overconfident whilst ensuring they like me, so i still make friends. I'm supposed to be the star of SC, but i still stoop low enough to enter the psychological battleground.
Comment: (yodean) Your confession only validates you to be the scum you are. wait till i tell the others. Your tactic may work on YoDean, the simp, but not the great nfgatchess !
I finally respond with Ne2 not sure why... i just don't like my other options~ they seem to put other pieces out in places I don't want them yet.

5. Nge2
|
... |

|
| |
|
|
5... cxd4
|
so he (surprisingly) plays as predicted... |

|
| |
|
|
6. Nxd4
|
and so do I. |

|
| |
|
|
6... Qa5
|
Now I am thinking since his castle is messed up on both sides if i can just swap material for a while i can work into a winning position since he won't be able to castle effectively (I think) - Qd3
|

|
|
7. Qd3
|
I don't see a respnse he has that can really gain him anything |

|
| |
|
|
7... Nc6 8. Nxc6
|
I really want to see which way he takes it. |

|
| |
|
|
8... dxc6
|
so he takes AWAY from the center of the board, but it does open up his white bishop |

|
| |
|

I move, I figure I might end up with stacked pawns but now it looks like I am going to O-O (instead of O-O-O) and develop the rook at the same time on the f-file |

|
| |
|
|
9... Bxc3+
|
he ends up starting what i think will stack my pawns on c-file |

|
| |
|
|
10. Qxc3
|
... |

|
| |
|
|
10... Qxc3+
|
... |

|
| |
|
|
11. bxc3
|
He does.. |
