I" could not find any games on chesss365.com or chessgames.com with this crazy
move of GP's ...Qf6."
Then mission accomplished. We play chess man to man and not memory v memory.
If Queen Nabber thinks White is only slightly better. Good.
I play better when I am slightly worse.
3...a6 here.
Which I believe has made it's made it's way into theory, is a good plan crossing
move. The White squared Bishop struggles to find a role.
Anyway for the record here is the first 3...a6 game.
A piece of OTB inpsiration.
E.Campbell - G.Chandler Edinburgh League 1979.
"I know my opponent will blunder, I just have to be good enough to spot it."
Let's not be too hard here. It was White's first or second season.
He is still playing these days. And me? I was playing any old junk just to
get things interesting. (nothing has changed there either.) 🙂

9. Ngf3 d5 10. O-O O-O 11. a3 Bxd2 12. Qxd2 dxc4 13. bxc4 Bf5 14. Nh4 Bg6 15. Nxg6 hxg6 16. h4 {Today White looks good. (infact today White looks very good.) But back in '79 Black looked good.. I think this move was to soften up the Kingside, White is dertermined to put that b2 Bishop to use.}
16... Rad8 17. Rad1 Ne4 18. Qf4 Ng3 {A trick 'by coincidence' based on the spare White Bishop.}
19. Qxg3 Qxe2 20. Qc3 {It's the Bb2 idea again.}
20... f6 {Make a note of that. 1979. I made a defensive move. You don't see many of them about.}
21. f3 {This is a Queen trapping attempt. I said in another thread I know my opponent will blunder, I just have to be good enough to spot it.}
21... Rfe8 22. Rfe1 Nxd4 {I spotted it.}23. Rxe2 Nxe2+ 24. Kf2 Nxc3 25. Rxd8 Rxd8 26. Bxc3 Rd3 27. Bb4 b6 {He started with 1.b3. It ended with 1...b6.}
