So, one person voted for 8.Bd3, but the others said that black should castle Kingside
So, 9.0-0 wins the votes.

continue development
so next for me is Nc6 working towards getting pieces developed.
They cant fight if asleep in barracks

I like b6 so as to develop the B to b7 and preserving the option of developing the N to either c6 or d7

I like both moves however would go with b6.
baddeeds
27-Apr-14, 12:55

Allright, the majority said 9...b6

10.Bg5 pinning the Q and looking to start a k-side attack.
bigpeta
28-Apr-14, 00:33

i agree
Bg5 is my vote
penguin_
28-Apr-14, 06:29

Good with Me
Bg5 is good for me
baddeeds
28-Apr-14, 17:25

Ok, we've got 10.Bg5
bigpeta
29-Apr-14, 00:36

Bb7 for me
having played b6 to allow this move i think we should play it.

Nbd7
Probably too defensive, but I like the look of Nbd7.

29-Apr-14, 06:05

Bb7 say Penguin_1
Get the Bishop into play and cover a lot of real estate
caveman1960
29-Apr-14, 06:16

Bb7 keeping to the plan started by b6
baddeeds
29-Apr-14, 17:26

10...Bb7

Re1
To get a Rook on to the half open central file.
bigpeta
30-Apr-14, 01:13

Qe2
puts the lady in a strong position protecting N B and pawn
penguin_
30-Apr-14, 07:25

Both Moves Good
I like both moves however I would go with Re1, however must keep in mind the knight on c3 is now pinned.
baddeeds
30-Apr-14, 19:55

Ok.
It's 11.Re1
bigpeta
30-Apr-14, 20:16

Nc6
develops the N, protects the B on b4 and opens a line for the R to get active
maglicianer
30-Apr-14, 22:12

Nc6 for me too
I was tempted by Nbd7 because I am worried about the annoying pin on the f Knight. However, that is the only reason I can find to justify the move, so I agree that Nc6 gives better options.
penguin_
01-May-14, 01:57

NC6 will work for me
I like to have the knights in play
baddeeds
01-May-14, 17:41

11...Nc6
bigpeta
02-May-14, 01:01

a3 or Bd3
now we development is complete we can attack that B with a3 or put our B on a better diagonal with Bd3.
for me a3 is just the better move
maglicianer
02-May-14, 01:48

Bd3
I like the idea of adjoining Bishops lining up against the enemy King.
penguin_
02-May-14, 02:07

Bd3 for me
I vote for Bd3
bigpeta
02-May-14, 06:35

Bd3
ok i go with Bd3 then
baddeeds
02-May-14, 19:33

12.Bd3
maglicianer
06-May-14, 03:19

Nxd4
I haven't given this a lot of thought, but doesn't this win the pawn?
bigpeta
06-May-14, 14:15

@magli
look a little further from Nxd4 and this follows
Nxd4 NxN and now we have to accept the loss of the N for pawn because if
QxN then Bxh7+ and the Q is lost.
So i think it is time for h6 and move that B on somewhere.
maglicianer

Opticians appointment overdue
Thanks bigpeta. I had stopped my analysis after QxN and did not spot the check and discovered attack on the Queen. I hope my friend caveman doesn't read this, he has already pointed out to me in our training game that I'm not analysing things deep enough. Okay then back to the drawing board, I'll come up with an alternative soon, but h6 does look sensible.
Are you really in Scotland bigpeta ?
