  An Englishman: Good Evening: The maxim in this case being, "Protect Thy King."
May-29-15  Chess Amateur: Why on Earth did White do 18.Kd2??? It only creates problems for himself!
May-29-15  ISeth: The real problem in this Game for White is the Move N*e6 which takes away the d5 square for the Other Knight . White should have played Nd5+ which would have been better .

The rest of the game shows that White fails to find any initiative and Better Sqaures for its Minor Pieces.

<Iseth> Good point

  al wazir: <Chess Amateur: Why on Earth did White do 18.Kd2?> I'm guessing he was worried about 18...Nd3+.

May-29-15  mruknowwho: They say that many masters avoid openings that offer both sides rapid development. I guess this game is an example of why that is.
