Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: I predict a6 soon
Jun-18-13  Ulhumbrus: <Ezzy: <Ulhumbrus - I will continue to regard such an offer as helpful> On what basis do you think I need help finding a high profile game where I didn't ask for your help in the first place.>

I may need a basis on which to think it but I do not need a basis on which to assume it when making a helpful offer.

I think that I am getting drawn into a senseless argument here. I propose to apply some of my experience now. I am going to be charitable towards you and to assume that this kibitzing has taken an effect upon you, an effect that it can take sometimes. Therefore I do not propose to continue this particular exchange any further.

Jun-18-13  madlydeeply: Black's e4 control seems temporary, white can castle, Nd2, f3 and e4. So... Time is now for ...d5 or ...Ne4, ...f5?
Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: h3 would be nice imo
Jun-18-13  watwinc: <ezzy> If someone offers help, smile and say "Thank you". You're just showing everybody what a jerk you can be.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: Well, Black has got 3 center squares under his control, and so Houdini is already suggesting 11... Nfe4. *hmmm* Maybe tht topic of the game will be, what Black can do with his d- and e-pawn.
Jun-18-13  MrSpock: Black can't play 11. Qc7 because of 12. Nb5! and d6 will fall.
Jun-18-13  PinnedPiece: I'm thinking Naka is thinking black is overextending, and how can I get him to extend even more.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: 12. 0-0 looks reasonable now.
Jun-18-13  technical draw: <Strongest Force: I predict a6 soon>

You can't do that. Only the great El Predicto can predict on this site.

Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: After 11 moves Nak has difficult choices but he better make correct ones

  Check It Out: Black can trade on c3 and plop his other knight on e4 with tempo. Then he could reinforce it with f5

I didn't ask for any help - jerk!

  Check It Out: Naka vs Andreikin is not the only willful struggle going on around here
Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: Can we take the nonsense elsewhere?
Jun-18-13  ChemMac: I do not see what Nakamura's plan can be. As Black I'd play Rc8 without thinking about it.

  Check It Out: Black has a nice position but his rooks and queen don't know where to go. Andreikin needs a plan. A d5 break looks like a long range goal
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: <ChemMac>: You are right, Black has got the much more easier game here.
Jun-18-13  MrSpock: <ChemMac: I do not see what Nakamura's plan can be. As Black I'd play Rc8 without thinking about it.> Here we are :-)
Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: After Qxc3 and Rc8 Nak's Q don't look so good
Jun-18-13  Ulhumbrus: <Check It Out: Black has a nice position but his rooks and queen don't know where to go.> Black might lack a good square for his queen if White's queen's rook were placed on c1. However as White has placed this rook on d1, this suggests 14...Qc7
Jun-18-13  technical draw: White's c pawn is the target.
Jun-18-13  bernieno: White still has a pretty good grip on some of the central squares. But doesn't he have the wrong rook on d1?

  Mateo: <Check It Out: Black has a nice position but his rooks and queen don't know where to go. Andreikin needs a plan. A d5 break looks like a long range goal> He can put his Queen on d7 or c7.
Jun-18-13  sdaniels: How about 14. ... Rc5?
