Jul-03-08   madlydeeply: This game blew my little class B mind! First, at move 6 black, how is he going to develop his queenside at all? Who in the heck would play this opening?...does black really win this game? After 7 Ne5 I knew he was going to lose a pawn unless he plays 7...c6 with a completely locked position...so he plays 7...Nc6 anyways! But then white took with the bishop instead of the knight! why in the heck would he do such a thing giving up that beauty? Still after the exchanges Black's position looks pretty miserable after 11.Qa4. After 13 Qxd4 it looks like black has nothing to show for the pawn. But a few moves later its clear that all that empty queenside space can be used to activate blacks rooks against the misplaced white queen! using the Qe7 as support. So suddenly after 16...h6 white's position looks completely miserable! So you see my friends, this is what blew my little mind. All thanks to Guess the move, my new favorite toy! Thanks Chessgames, for Guess the move! I love it!
Jul-03-08   madlydeeply: (Continuing) So after 20 Re2, white is looking cramped and miserable, poor fellah, (actually i'm quite happy that even grandmaster can have that helpless miserable feeling after move 20, because I feel like that after near every game...), I thinks to my own little self, what can black do now? I guess, what the heck, a5. Then out comes 20...Bg4!! Crazy as hell! Oh my sweet Jesus!. of course I console myself, because if I was playing a 40/2 game, of course I would have seen it right. Riiiight... Say anybody need any coffee! any more coffee? blah blah blah blah...
