1 and 27

Can you look at these games. I only beat this guy once in 28 games.

Game 1533537

This was a close one here

Game 3342878

The passed pawn killed me and he had all his pieces in the right spots. His opening gives me trouble, I tried to control the center, but lost it.

I guess he's playing some variation of the English and I can't handle it.

Thanks

Wow man, you really played that guy a lot.
Why actually? Doesn't this kill your rating?
it's remarkable how long it takes before he attacks and I think that might be his weakness. He plays some kind of Indian defense whilst he is white, which might cost him the advantage of beginning...

Hes a friend and I only lose a few rating points. So, maybe I should be more offensive instead of waiting for the onsluaght.

Zebano is right; it is the Richard Reti opening.

Your opponent is quite a wily player; I've looked at some of his games.

Two particularly neat finishes, I thought, were:

Game 3342878

and

Game 3298506

None of which answers your question, of course...

You seem to be doing OK generally, though, so just keep at it!

Best wishes...

I believe it is the King's Indian attack or Barcza opening
