Yeah, that knight being there caused problems for me. I get what you're saying about giving someone else a turn.
F4, I'm a hesitant to play king's gambit. (if that is what that is). I really don't know what to do with it yet I guess. I'm more likely to play f3, but that has gotten me jammed up a bit some too.

Yeah, I had trouble with the whole game because of that knight. Closing up with d3 and leaving the bishop out there. Is that part of the "London System"? You're not hurtin' my feelings Greenpawn. If I was sensitive, I wouldn't have asked for people's opinions. 😉 I appreciate the help. In hindsight, it seems obvious.
Glad you see I'm not out to make a fool of you or hurt feelings.
I stress you only learn from losing. If you win with a swindle
you never ever go back and see why you were losing, you just
accept the win.
So to save you the pain of a future loss I make you feel like you lost.
It's not a unique technique. According to Roman Dzindzichashvili I
have to slap you like a child if you win when you should have lost.
Another poster said they winced when they saw it.
This is what I want you to do, recoil in horror when you see such a move.
*************BEWARE*********************
Chess is chess. All rules of thumb can be broken.
Not all silly looking moves lose. Some have a healthy does of poison.
See this. Black violates the opening principles with a gay abandon.
Moves a piece twice in the opening.
Brings out the Queen too early.
Does not defend f7
Goes pawn stealing.
and wins
This one is worth knowing (and trying)
Same trap set by White. This is a good one. No real harm
done with 3.a3 just imagine you had Black. it makes the other
guy think you are a sap.
It's up to to you wether you try them or not -it's OK in skittles.
Just giving you these to show you that you must be alert
for 'rule breakers'.
Now work out on your own the best replies.

I think on the 2nd one the narc is the a3 pawn? Maybe could follow up with c6. Still going back and forth to them. I got 3 kids here. LOL
