| Posted by parrvert uskidscompute.com 10/18/2003 01:44:58 play online chess | I don't think Message: white could have "ended" black with 3.Nxe5. After 3...Qe7 4.Nf3 Qxe4 5.Be2 black isn't THAT bad. |

Message: after 1.e4 e5; 2.Nf3 f6; 3.Nxe5 Qe7; 4.Nf3 Qxe4+; 5.Be2 Qf5; 6.0-0 and that white is winning with a score of +158 and that black's best move isnt 4...Qxe4+, but 4...d5; 5.d3 dxe4; 6.dxe4 Qxe4+; 7.Be2 Bf5; 8.Nd4 Nd7; 9.0-0 0-0-0 and white is winning with a score of +145 |
| Posted by anaxagoras uskidscompute.com 10/18/2003 14:54:05 play online chess | Message: I agree that 2...f6 is one of the worst defensive moves anyone could ever make after 1...e5. You may as well just give up a pawn for nothing and acheive better results. Ok kids, let's keep our mouths shut for now until his game is over, right? My one stipulation, zoobrenok, is that you have to let me talk about the moves before #25 if I say anything at all. ;-) |
