Thanks Joe. I agree, if f4 was played, I would have lost a tempo, or had to go to g6. I have a hard time making the right moves in the sicilian defense. Book says to go Nf6,g6 or e5 are the way to go in the open sicilian which is what Nc6 leads to. This is a main problem with my game, I make small mistakes in the opening and then end up with a challenging middle game. Thanks for the feedback.
Are you coming to the library on Thursday, April 14th?
THE TWINSBURG CHESS CLUB Twinsburg, Ohio
A chess club for all ages and levels. We play casual games every Saturday. We meet at the Twinsburg Public Library Summer hours 10:00 - 2:00 Non-Summer Hours 2:00 - 6:00.
This site is dedicated to the exploration of chess. I plan to post games that have been played at our club and present them in a format that will allow all of us to review and analyze our games. Feel free to email the moves from your games and I will post them. Just include who played white and who played black and I will put it into a viewer.
This way we can all get a chance to revisit our games and provide each other feedback and learn from each other.
Nice. A good example of doing the math (counting squares) for the pawn promotion.
ReplyDeleteEarly on though black played 4...Ne5 which I think white would have been better off following up with f4. But he didn't and you played a good game.
