  An Englishman: Good Evening: Found this whilst exploring our Opening of the Day for 14 Aug 2020, and I can't decide--did White try to trap Black, did Black try to trap White, or did both players play the *same* trap?
Aug-14-20  areknames: Haha <An Englishman>, good find and a clever observation! That's just the way it is, isn't it, with those fringe openings; you never quite know who's playing who! 8.h3 seems to be a pretty bad choice though, cheers!

  perfidious: At his eighth move, White was already faced with the threat of ....Be7 and the loss of the unfortunate steed on the rim; do not believe there is a better way to meet this than the way things actually went, wretched as the game continuation was for him.
Aug-14-20  areknames: <perfidious> You're right; the problem lies more with the clumsy and time-wasting 7.Qd3 than with 8.h3 in an already fairly compromised position. 7.e3 or 7.c4 and White looks ok.
Aug-14-20  jith1207: 7.f3 isn't really giving good chances but even that would've been better or made more sense than the text move.
Feb-21-21  saturn2: <areknames 7..e3 or 7.c4 and White looks ok.> After c4. is there not the same threat as in the game 7...e6 and Be7 following? If 8.h3 then 8...f4 White always loses a piece.
