PAWN RIOT VS The Forum Move 7

This is a continuation of Thread 102175.

PAWN RIOT has just submitted 7.f3, leading to the following position.



That was the next move in the Yugoslav Attack. 🙂

There are really two main moves here, although others are possible.

7. ... 0-0 (The Most Common)

And

7. ... Nc6 (Delaying Castling On Purpose- Although Castling Eventually Follows Most Of The Time)

Other moves are certainly possible.

I will vote later.

7. ... O-O

7. ... O-O

7...Nc6

1-0

(who voted for the dragon? 😕)

7...0-0

7...0-0

0-0

I know, the set of bloodthirsty nutters! I voted for 5...a6

I fear a player as good as PAWNRIOT will take this dodgy opening out easily.

P.S. There is a good reason for why I suggest 7...Nc6 as Black has found it hard work in the 9.0-0-0 lines and Tiviakov himself (one of the worlds best Drogon players) has been delaying castling until White plays Bc4. After looking at these lines I would say it is more prudent to delay castling to deny White this option.

I think Black has no problems at all after 7...0-0 8. Qd2 Nc6 9. 0-0-0 d5! What line do you have in mind?

Hi !~TONY~!, I 'll agree with you just for a change😛

7. ... 0-0

Since we chose the Yugoslav as our best chance against PAWNRIOT I would like to vote Nc6. Maybe we must shuffle the deck a little bit. After all Kingside castling will come next. We have elected "sharp" play - let us go sharp!

This decision is almost completely moot. It's pretty much 100% guaranteed that ...Nc6 and ...0-0 will lead to the same position. If it was up to me I'd play out both moves without asking anyone. 😀

...0-0. keep it plain and simple.
