could i have closed it out sooner(i was black)
Originally posted by hempster2..Be6 is a bad move on principle, it blocks the white bishop in, blocks the d-pawn from advancing to claim the center. Two moves later you moved the Be6 to c5....well why not do that straight away? I've only ever seen a master play such a move once, and that player was Tal (who was World champion at the time). As a general rule, neither bishop should ever be placed in front of a central pawn. In ten years of playing i have never seen a position where this move is correct. The only exception i can think of is in the English opening, where white places his black bishop on e3, but this only happens when the white bishop is fianchettoed on g2 and white has already castled.

hmmm ...its a move i do frequently..dont know why but it seems to work for me..but thanks i will look at making the full move in future
This is a chess opening database. The rules allow you to use one in your games here. If you use it to check the move you want to play, i think you'll find that this sort of bishop move almost never appears. I'd go as far as to say that you can be pretty confident that it is always wrong.

Sveshnikov and Gurevich played this line as Black. But, of course, it's an exception. In my opinion, Bd6 in Open Game is objectively bad.
All the while white is free to take advantage of blacks complete lack of control over c4-c5-d5-e4 and e5. Who won the game? I'd be very surprised if black won, white would have to blunder quite badly i feel. Using this sort of thing as a psychological tactic is one thing, perhaps white would expect some sort of computer generted super line and stear the game to a draw out of fear...i can't see white realistically getting beaten though...

played infront of the e pawn, as do lines of the fianchetto Grunfeld and the Queen's Gambit Accepted some of which have been main lines at master level for many years.
A case in point is the following game which was published in the press as it features a nice central attack with material offered, and is of short duration. The loser is around 192 ECF and the winner 206 ECF. Bd6 is played blocking the d pawn. I think strong players learn how to offer a temporary positional disadvantage as well as material as part of the range of risks they are prepared to take when they try to win. I lifted the pgn from the FIDE rating website which now displays some games.

Not 4...Bd6 in the Larsen Opening or any other opening or ...Be6 in the Dragon.
(How did this get onto Be6 in the Dragon?).
In which case the statement:
"In my opinion, Bd6 in Open Games is objectively bad." Holds a lot water.

There are at least 5 better moves than 2..Bd6 in this position.
2...Nc6 as you played in Game 8780369
2...d6
2...f5
2...d5
2...Nf6
Here is a wonderful wee game played on here where White exploits the move
2..Bd6 in a very instructive manner.

Example from 2006. Both players are not amateurs. Certainly playable position for Black after move 7, I think.
well that blows that idea out of the water..just did a search for a chess club in my area (thought i might benefit form some live games with people and learn the basics)
well it seems we have none ,so it looks like i will just have to annoy you good people more often.
and a Merry Christmas to all hope you have a good one.

As for your analysis its pretty much my train of toughts during that game. After Bd6 white only needs to develop and prepare to charge the king side. Black is in trouble because he has a badly placed piece (protecting the e5 pawn does not compansate at all for the drawbacks) and lost a tempo getting in that position and will waste another one fixing it.
Recognising what will be blacks weaknesses (like that f5 square you pointed out) is key to winning here. All that being said this opponent made big mistakes and Bd6 alone is not a garanteed 100% win for white.
edit: just noticed the guy who posted my game is actually a 2000 player. So my comments are more for the original poster.
