Not one but several blunders in this one. VelvetEars and I are patiently waiting for a game between us that is worthy of the forum once more, this time I prevented that by a series of poorly thought out moves. No need to annotate, you'll see where they are 🙂

As an aside, do you find that many of your black opponents do QGA dxc4.

Originally posted by tomtom232Thanks, it does look like a better move. Does it win material? I can't see this far... After 9.Ne2 I think ...Ba6 is the only move. Then 10.Nc3 anyway, right? Black can try to hold the c4 pawn by ...Qb3. I don't quite see what to do next. White should probably try to keep focusing on the doubled isolated pawns but how?

I shamefully admit, as much as I am a fan of Polugaevsky Variation, that each time I make longer berak in chess (i.e. no weekend games etc.) I forget all traps and basics (such as some basic endings) and I need time to regain som routine.
So, I got checkmated as a Black in a receent Blitz game...
