< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 22 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-20-06    RonB52734: <Nako> It's a good point. Jan-20-06    sitzkrieg: On first sight, i got no board now, Bf7 on Nf3 seems alright. But i have no clear follow up. Do we need to move our king, and where to? Jan-20-06    RonB52734: <sitzkrieg: On first sight, i got no board now, Bf7 on Nf3 seems alright> And what if white then plays Qe4? ...d5 is possible. I wouldn't like to put our Q on the e-file, because of that pesky c-Knight. Jan-20-06    sitzkrieg: Yes, d5 looks strong after Qe4. We can create passed pawn and strenghten our centre. I therefore dont think they ll play that move. By the way, have u noticed that they changed <Chopin> for a candidate master? (see Bankat's profile) I am willing to drop out of this team if u can get Susan Polgar or Shiller to play:) Jan-20-06    RonB52734: LOL <sitzkrieg>. I managed to find his profile. Very interesting. Jan-20-06    sitzkrieg: Great. In a few weeks we ll be able to tell our friends and family we beat a candidate master. Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Beat him? We'll see. Everything I can see in the current position tells me we are holding it to an even position. White still has the initiative, but correct play on both sides can hold it even for the foreseeable future. As I mentioned before, right now I don't mind our King stuck in the center. Our dark-squared bishop could be called a "bad" bishop, but it is doing important work right where it is. I'm content to be dead-even (minus white's initiative, which white starts with anyway) after 15 moves. Jan-20-06    Robin01: I'm back on again. They changed players I take it. No new move by white yet either. Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Welcome back, <Robin01>. You are correct. Jan-20-06    Robin01: I was looking at what <NakoSonorense> posted, which was if 16.Ne6, or 16.Ne4, or 16.Nf3, then I think we can play 16...Bf7 in all those instances and we are okay. Jan-20-06    Robin01: I'll be gone all day again tomorrow. I will be back around 7:00 p.m. your time tomorrow evening. Jan-20-06    Robin01: So I will not be able to look at anything white does until then. Jan-20-06    Robin01: They have to move the knight I would think, otherwise we can take it. Jan-20-06    Robin01: I am going to analyze the move 16.Nf3 some more tonight. There is nothing wrong with 16...Bf7, but maybe we have something else here also. Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Following up on 16.Nf3 Bd7 17.Qe4 d5, if 18.Qe3 then 18...e4 and a fine position. Jan-20-06    Robin01: That is true, but I think they will put their queen on d3. In other words, 16.Nf3, 16...Bf7, 17.Qd3. Then what do we do? Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Then Rd8 Jan-20-06    Robin01: <16.Nf3, 16...Bf7, 17.Qd3> Maybe just 17...Be7 in that case. Jan-20-06    Robin01: <Then Rd8> Maybe. I'm not sure I like boxing our king in like that. Jan-20-06    Robin01: Also, e7 is a nice square for our bishop and we will probably develop the bishop there anyway. On the other hand, we might want to develop the rook on the c file later. Jan-20-06    Robin01: Also, once the bishop is developed on e7, then our king's rook can move also. So 17...Be7 not only allows us some flexibility with our queen's rook, but frees up our king's rook. Now, if this goes this way, do they have any good comebacks at us if we play 17...Be7. I am continuing to analyze. Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Be7 is possible too, but there are several things to be aware of. (a) If white's next move puts more pressure on d6, then Rd8 must be next, and (b) the B at e7 cannot move away from the defense of the d6 pawn. Given that the f8 Bishop is tied to the defense of d6, therefore moving that Bishop to e7 is not truly a developing move. It doesn't change the dynamics of the position. This is a slight objection, but its mine and I'm proud of it LOL ;) Jan-20-06    Robin01: I'm think of it more as a developing move for our king's rook than the bishop itself. Jan-20-06    RonB52734: Yeah, I see your point. It's growing on me. Jan-20-06    Robin01: White might play 18.Nd5 after our bishop move. Play could then continue 18...Bxd5, 19.Qxd5, and 19...Rf8, which gets one of our rooks into the game.
