I've no idea. How do you make a PGN out of that?

I copied the game, pasted it into chessbase, saved it, then copied back into the post and applied the pgn coding.

Thanks guys!

Obviously I made a mistake after move 17 somewhere, or so it seems to me. How should I have pushed for the win once I got my N onto d6 with check?

I also am aware that I left my b-Pawn open early on which was an accident but he didn't take anyway.

Hi Paul.

I beat you to it.

I copied the game and posted it into the Religious Form
and as if by miracle - it was in a PGN!

I thought there may have been an issue with the long form of notation, and didn't even think to just try it "as is". I overanalyzed, as usual!

And for the longest time I had thought that a PGN was some kind of shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon. At least I'm making progress.

what's wrong with Nd7?

Looks OK to me. 😉

It is my understanding that Nd7 has a bigger database and a completely new ergonomic interface compared to Nd6.

Nd6 still beats the crap out of me, though, so I doubt I will upgrade. 😀

I did try it "as is" and it didn't work.

Didn't see it. Thanks for pointing it out!

EDIT - You mean Nc7 right?

1) How about 20. Nh4 instead (g6 is weak)?

2) How about 21. Nex6 with the idea of 21. ... Rxd6 22. Nxg7? The idea is that the attack on f5 threatens a fork, and Black's center is collapsing, and his king centralized in an untimely fashion.

I haven't worked these out yet, but that seems like a critical point in the game.

Sorry for the wee gags in yout thread 1000 - just a piece of fun.

Yes your 6.Bf4 was clumsy. 6.c3 was the move here.



Gives the Bishop a home (c2) on the greek gift diagonal (b1-h7) if he plays c4
Stops the Knight from going to b4 chasing your good Bishop.

The d3 Bishop is the better of the two Bishops because you have
pawns on d4 & e5 that are crippling your c1 Bishop.

Also 6.c3 sets a trap that has 100 of victims.
The d-pawn is held by tactics. So Black cannot take 3 times on d4. eg.

Note the idea of the trap is to snare the Black Queen but I slipped
in Bxd7+ these 'in-betweeners' are worth looking out for.



A trick worth knowing.

The d3 B . cxd4 Nxd4 3. Nxd4 Qxd4 4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. Bxd7+ Kxd7 6. Qxd4[/pgn]

A trick worth knowing.
That's the trick that got me started with this line. I've since become addicted to gambiting a Pawn to get development when I play against the French...allowing cxd4 and then dxc3 getting my Knight out while my opponent is still half undeveloped. However this only really works when he takes the d Pawn early. Then I can play Qe2 and THEN I can play c3 and then develop that Bishop. However if he does not take my d-Pawn and I play Qe2 then his c4 wins my Bishop.
