CHESS Tutorial (open) - adept VS Noonoo

**Danger** · August 9th, 2002, 03:34 AM

ok, heres my take on it
swapping your rook for his bishop isn't necessarily a bad idea. it may not be the best move, but it could turn out beneficial in the end. If you decide to do the swap, this is how I believe you should play it out.

1. pawn to f3

2. assuming he takes your rook, pawn to g2

he will move his rook to safegaurd it from your pawn

3. if he keeps his rook in the h column, pawn to g1 (becomes Queen, white King in check). If his rook remains at h1 or f1 then take it with the pawn. if his rook is moved to d1 or e1, or if he moves his rook to g1, knight to h4.

4. assuming you moved your Knight, these next moves depend on what Adepts does. you would probably want to move your rook to g8

5. if his rook is at g1 (possibly otherwise, as well) and your knight is positioned at h4, Knight to f3

6. By this point there are to many variations to branch them all out. Knight to g1, or pawn to g1 are potential scenarios. pushing for your pawn to become a Queen is a good focus at this point

good luck

I hope this game is still going on. I'd like to see the outcome

Game is still ongoing, one of the players is gone for a week, so it's in a suspended state at the moment..

All Things come to he who waits.... (interesting, never to she who waits...

)

OK, Ranger I think the pawn move is good too.... sorry about the wait, but I was at my mothers, the server fell off the net and there was no one to reboot it to reset the wonderful usb adsl modem I have.

Pawn F3

28w. e6

Reason:
I'm trying to get a foot in the door with my own pawns here.

The exchange of pieces (rook-bishop) can wait for now, as the basic setup is already in place.

Those white pawns on row 6 can turn into a serious threat. In fact, they already are. I'll post my suggestion later on if I get back before you make your move (I need to get some sleep, or my advice won't be very useful)

**NooNoo** · August 13th, 2002, 09:51 AM

Well Danger, I hope you can come up with something, because I have run a whole bunch of scenarios, none of them have a result even close to what I want!

**Stalemate** · August 13th, 2002, 10:25 AM

Was Ne5 one of the moves you were considering, Noonoo?

It might seem tame in comparison to other options, but it would place your knight in an excellent spot to cover either "hotspot" currently in progress.

Since gaining the initiative isn't quite in your grasp yet, developping more pieces into the middle area would be an investment in the upcoming sequences.

it is one of the moves that was considred.. No matter how we worked it out, you got a pawn to the back row...

The more i looked at it, the more i feel that moving the knight is a good choice.. the debate was where.

Is there an updated pic somewhere?

The main page is updated Poseidon, NooNoo hasnt decided on her next move yet

[GLOATING MODE ON]

Let me get this straight...

The concentrated efforts of 6 brains:

Noonoo
Matridom
Poseidon
cc_penguin
Danger
...and myself on occasion

...can't come up with a way to kick my butt?!

I'm even explaining all of my moves and giving away my strategies!

Maybe if I got some "help" too we could even this out...

[GLOATING MODE OFF]

Sorry about that - must have been my evil twin or something.

The smilies make it all right, don't they?
