No, both Knights now cover F5. He should be able to outpost one of them on one spot tying up his Bishop and Queen and threatening the other Bishop.

Is that right?
Add me to the list, and I looked at it for about 1 minute

You got your notation wrong.

a file is queen rook file, and h file is the king rook file.

The square you are refering to is b5 not f5.

Black just played 9...Bh6. He moved the kings bishop outside to h6. Is that a blunder?

Yea...I'm prone to get the board backwards...that's why the board I use to evaluate position has the little letters and numbers written on it....🙄

Black just played 9...Bh6. Isn't this a blunder?



Solve that. How long did it take you?

Can you spare that much time in 2 days? I want to post 1 puzzle like that every several moves into the game and have all of you guys try to solve it and post your answer. Is that fair?
Ya i think i can spare 30 seconds to a minute every two days. White has good bishop for blacks inactive one. If white doesnt trade he is forced back, i think. Queen checks on a or h file. wins back bishop.

It's time to noob out on yall. what about
10. Bxh6 g6
11. Bg7 Rg8
12. Bh6?
Would that be good? That's how I see the game going. 😛 Cause you have a trapped bishop, but the short castle is not longer possible. And now at least for the moment you are up in material.

f4?
That wouldn't do extremely much. Offeres the gambit but would have to win the pawn back later

And I already said a possible answer no need repeating it

Rahim, thoughts?
