<strong>11w. Nf6+
Reason:
Well, not much of a choice, really. Talk about payback! :D
Playing f3 or g3, as well as e5 are pawn moves which wouldn't necessarily be "bad" moves, but wouldn't stop your knight at c6 from trotting over into my side of the board after taking my bishop, keeping me from executing a queen's side castle, and possibly losing my rook on top of that.
This way I can expect to exchange some pieces doesn't place me in dire straits right away.
Excellent move! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not much of a choice. Nxf6 or moving the king and loosing the knight. with a well protected queen side and one piece needed to move out, a queen side castle would be VERY advantageous. so trading the knights will let you do that. The downside is that your knight get's out form adpets side, no mater what you do.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When I work out what language the two of you are speaking, I will make a move :D
OK, had a nice chat with Matridom and got it all translated... I should have just read what Poseidon said :rolleyes:
Still here we go, unsurprisingly, one nuked Knight!

I promise I'll try to be clearer, and hope that the other participants can clear up any gibberish I post. :rolleyes:
12w. Bxf6
Reason:
Just playing the procession to its logical end... trying to make up for the loss of my knight (minimizing inevitable loss of material). :cool:
OK, that was the expected move... my turn Be7

13w. Bxe7
Reason:
It would be pointless to withdraw as I would most probably still lose the piece anyhow.
This way, I can somewhat even out the game with the both of us having to deploy more pieces, as you are most likely to use your knight to take out my bishop so that your king can keep its ability to castle.
I don't know if your counselors will agree, but I feel that my defenses aren't too bad considering the beating I just took.
I really enjoyed these last couple of moves - very challenging! :cool:

NooNoo has a slightly better contrl of the board and will be able to deplay those piece fare more quickly.
What needs to be done now is to have NooNoo go on the offensive and hit you before you have a chance in opening up. But i think your right about the knight. For defense resons the castling for NooNoo is important. so the Kxe7 would be my recommendation.
Not much of a choice really - guess what? - Nxe7
<img src="http://ftb.dns2go.com/chess13.jpg" alt=" - " />
I'm guessing from the 2 last posts and the picture that you meant Nxe7 (with the knight (N)), because there is mention of the king (K) keeping the possibility of castling later on.
That's how I would have played too. :cool:
14w. Nf3
Reason:
I'm trying to regain some control of the middle of the board, and developing my knight is a quick way of accomplishing this.
It covers d4, e5, g5, and h4. My pawn at e4 is currently handling d5 and f5
Moving your knight back into action is a bit more complicated now, but you may want to take the time to set up your castling first.
Possibilities for my next moves include d4, or Be2 (king's castle) or O-O-O (queen's castle) - all depending on your course of action.
Did I mention I'm having a really good time playing this bout? :D
I've updated the main page picture from the white point of view.
Ok so sue me, Knights start with a K, and I get confused soooo easily :D :D
Back to staring at the chess board...
Pf6
:p
My apologies for the Red X's, I managed to wipe out my apache directory... seems it upgraded all my gifs and jpg's into oblivion....
:(
Here is the current situation... <img src="http://ftb.dns2go.com/chess14.jpg" alt=" - " />
15w. e5
Reason:
I'll be intercepting your pawn at f6 and stopping you from advancing with your own pawn on file e.
I chose this move instead of O-O-O, d4 or Be2, as I'm guessing that there's a reason you did not play f5 to catch my own pawn on file d right away.
Sorry I took so long to answer - I was pretty sick yesterday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Edit: what do you mean by file D? I have no pawn to advance on the "d line"
