Hey. Nice victory, very well played. I learnt a few things from this game (I'm Novice)
1. ... e6 - That is the starting of the French Defense, very bizzar that he didn't follow it through. It is meant to go:
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 - This leaves white with a few options, take or push forward with pawn and try and cramp black or something lol.
Oh and 3.Nc3 ... is awesome lol, now that is what i call multi-tasking :P
Wow, I didn't see 22. d5. Very nice call, tonydal. Thanks for the comment.
And thank you, Chess_Dragon. I'm pretty weak on knowing what openings are and where they typically go. The type of memorization involved is not one of my skills.
Ok, :D
I only know a few openings because i found a good chess book. It has a whole section on openings, but i only know Ruy Lopez, Nimzo-Indian, Sicilian, French and Caro-Kann.
Definitely more than I know :-). I just play it by instinct, which doesn't usually take me too far outside of my comfort zone.
Hello all,
I thought I might share this game and possibly get some feedback on it. my opponent was ranked quite a fair bit higher than me so it was a happy victory for me.
Thanks,
Jason
