Looking at that board, Bd2 seems obvious. Is there anything else?(11:04:10 PM) senspizzaline: That's actually my bold prediction for the year

Be2 is completely dumb, accomplishes nothing.
d5 is actually counter-productive, crippling our Queen.

What does Bd2 do for us? Nothing, does it? Let me dig up a post of mine.
Could we continue this discussion?sirdanilot wrote:
1. How?goatrevolt wrote:2. A better option is Bd2. It doesn't restrict our queen, (1)develops the other bishop, (2)threatens the b4 pawn, (3)and still allows us to castle, just via queenside. (4)Castling is also going to be more effective, since castling to the kingside would involve also having a bishop at e2, effectively keeping the rooks from getting into the game for a while.
2. That's pretty nice indeed, but ...a5 would stop that
3. So does Be2?
4. Not following about the rooks part.-

A warning, as a back-up to Nat's game, I will do everything in my power to make sure you do not get accepted in that game if you request replacement out of this one. Keep your commitments.Pesco47 wrote:Those pawn advances are sub-par moves.
Pre-emp notice to all: I am losing interest in this game and it is my top candidate to bail if Natirasha's MSG gets started soon. I won't need to drop if AitH finishes before that happens.
Bd2 devellops the Bishop, threatens the B-Pawn, and allows castling on the correct side. The b-Pawn cannot be easily defended (a5 is a large blunder).
d5 removes the powerful diagonal from the Queen, and allows them to castle. It also removes pressure from the crucial f7.(11:04:10 PM) senspizzaline: That's actually my bold prediction for the year

As I said, I'm hoping for AitH to end first. I hadn't realised Nat's game was so soon on the list. And I have been far more committed to all my games than your average player.
The b4 pawn is actually of very little consequence to the game right now. It can be considered a dead piece. Bringing out the bishop on Bd2 only frees up the castling option, but the move of castling should definitely be deferred until Black has been removed from the center.-

Unless we win it, in which case we likely win the game...Pesco47 wrote:The b4 pawn is actually of very little consequence to the game right now.
How do you figure? It is dead if it is removed from the board, or there is a forced play to remove it from the board. Currently, neither is the case.Pesco47 wrote:It can be considered a dead piece.
It devellops the Bishop, and allows us to devellop the Rook, and hides the King.Pesco47 wrote:Bringing out the bishop on Bd2 only frees up the castling option
Are you insane? We have a lead in devellopment, we need to castle now, then capitalize on the fact their King is stuck in the center, before they can catch up!Pesco47 wrote:but the move of castling should definitely be deferred until Black has been removed from the center.(11:04:10 PM) senspizzaline: That's actually my bold prediction for the year

Mind explaining both the fork and why we are unable to avoid it?Pesco47 wrote:I'm seeing a fork if we castle.
If 11. Bd2, it basically forces 11...a5, which ruins the King's safety, and forces him to stay in the open. Their King in the open, ours tucked away, and a large lead in devellopment. Looks like a fairly straightforward win.(11:04:10 PM) senspizzaline: That's actually my bold prediction for the year

It's doable in 2 moves (after we've castled). The first step may be hidden as an attack on other pieces, springing the fork when we respond to the diversion threat.
I don't have that much of an issue with Bd2 being played. The followup is where I'm seeing things differently. If they do respond with a5 to Bd2, I'll suggest my line of thoughts.-

How about you actually explain it. Give me specific lines. Exact details as to why this supposed fork is completely unstoppable. Otherwise, shut up about it.Pesco47 wrote:It's doable in 2 moves (after we've castled).
