Hey Dave!

I found something I thought you might like.....I'll post the link to a
bunth of info on it when i find it.........

The Balogh Counter Gambit
1.e4 d6
2.d4 f5!?

i thought the charge of the f-pawn would excite you!

Tony

I play it only in speed chess..there is FM in Texas named Keith
Hayworth who is the master of it. I and him have swapped analysis on
the PCG and the Schliemann...as well as the Balogh. He is really cool.

Thanks Tony.

Dave

Yah, I told him if he ever wanted any of my games he could have
them! That's the site I got it from! Keith's Krap! It's a good site!

Tony!

Yeah he knows me pretty well..awful nice guy.

Thanks for the thought.

Dave

np! I saw f5!? and instantly Dave came to my mind! Haha, I'm such a
nerd!

Tony!

No...not a nerd...but to remember someone's personal style is good
prep for tourneys...always try to learn as much about people as you
can when it comes to openings and stuff.

Dave

Okee dokee! I'll do that! Haha, what's my style Dave? QUIZ!!!

Tony!

You prefer a fianchetto position..leaning more towards the strength of
your bishops...but you do not coordinate your pieces well...you have a
good tactical sense..but can fall for easy one movers.

Your openings are strong but you lack in middlegame and endgame
finesse.

I hope that doesn't make you feel bad...but you asked for my
assumption... see you becoming more of a tactical player than a
positional one.

Dave

Good man........fianchettoes are a mans best friend......I do have a
sucky endgame.......and middlegame...........after playing you many
times it's sort of hard to say positional.......especially with the N-L ,
the PCG , and the Latvian! Thanks Dave!


Tony!

No..fianchettos are not a mans best friend..you roam with your pieces
and never keep them a little close to hold that. King protection is the
main key...besides going for the other's king.

But like I said you are getting better...just remember attack and
defend at the same time if possible...and you will be up here soon.

Dave
