I played the French as Black against a player called Dave.
The time control was 10 minutes each for the whole game.

(hide chess board)I ran the game through fritz and got pages of anaylsis,no way would i have found, let alone thought of most of the the fritz stuff.
But hey, comments please.
What was wrong with 13.... Bxh3? Maybe opening h-file for white's attack?
ReplyDeleteI think, the biggest problem of white was badly placed bishop on d2 and the absence of the plan after the queen exchange.
13...Bxh3
ReplyDeleteIs better than the move i played,my excuse is i only had 10 minutes for the whole game.
But i proberly played 13...Bxf3 out of habit and to quickly.
I thought White was going to reposition his bishop back to g2. White took a long time before getting in c4, and didn't properly defend the d-pawn. After that, you had the winning advantage and outplayed White. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYou played better than your opponent. I was pleasantly surprised by your choice of the opening/variation, Winaver 3.... Bb4 is sharp, I myself play 3.... Nf6 :). You see, you can do it. Maybe it worth to invest some time and learn deeper this variation.
ReplyDeleteRolling pawns
ReplyDeleteIt's funny i played this way,and i still think i am playing to passive.
But i am glad i am slowly changing,instead of seeking a safe move i am now looking for a more aggressive move.
I dont always find one but at least i am now looking.
If it carries on like this i shall be playing like you and linuxguy!!!

Yes 13...Bxh3 was the move,but as i have said i made this move on autopilot or habit.
