**Poseidon** · July 9th, 2002, 10:11 AM

Who's winning? I have 2 bucks that says NooNoo will prevail. (j/k

)

Didn't have anything constructive to say at the moment.

I'll post my move later this PM - I'm on a client site right now.

...as you expected, Noonoo? Good choice.

Reason:
This is the only safe move to make for now. Even though it gives you a shot at gaining initiative, losing a knight to a pawn is (to me) unacceptable and there is nothing to benefit from if I press on in your ranks with it (f6, e7, c7, b6) I'll just give you even more ability to set up your "middle".

Well I am now going to move without ANY advice - what do you think? Bd6

Poseidon - only two bucks? I am insulted!!

You GO, girl!

5w. Qg4

Reason:
It may be a bit early in the game, but placing my queen at this position I can protect my knight and put some pressure on the g7 pawn at the same time. This also allows me to control pretty much the entire right side of the board for now.
This may not be a wise move, but we can learn from mistakes as well as successes, can't we?

**Matridom** · July 9th, 2002, 03:25 PM

Nf6 you get to put pressure on the queen and force him to move it, your are also seting your self up to take the pawn at E4. In addtion it will let you castle early in the game if you feel it's necessairy. This move however locks your queen in for atleast 1 move (two moves required to get it out now). you also do not stop him from taking your pawn.

Pf5 you can also use this move to force the queen back, however he may take it, making a pawn excahnge in the middle of the board, leaving you wide open. This move also "Breaks" you king pocket in the corner if you do decide to castle.

Bxf4 you take his piece, you take out a knight, you loose your bishop, and he get's a queen out in the open with little to stop or back him up.

Edit:

Pg6 you protect your pawn, you develop you pocket but put no pressure on the queen, the Knight move from above might be a good follow to this move.

I won't post any recommended move from now on, I'll just post what possibilities that i see and how they would affect the game. Final choice will be your's NooNoo

**NooNoo** · July 10th, 2002, 07:20 AM

OK, here is a move Matridom didn't mention, Qf6 - I choose YOU!!!

Good call for the suggestions and possible outcomes idea, Matridom. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Reason:
I'm attacking the black queen at f6 while also putting more pressure on the pawn at g7.
While not entirely regaining the initiative, I'm placing the burden of defense on you for at least one move, which may be enough for me to regain my stride.

**NooNoo** · July 10th, 2002, 12:54 PM

Just out of curiosity - If I had moved the pawn to g6 - what would have been your next move Adept?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by NooNoo:

Reason:
Possibility of re-asserting my position in the middle of the board be developping another knight in that area.
Strengthening my presence overall on the board.

**Matridom** · July 10th, 2002, 01:52 PM

NooNoo, you have some tough choices, either gamble on a queen trade or retreat and give Adept the initiative. Right now, you NEED to move your queen somewhere, so retreat or trade is your choice.

**NooNoo** · July 10th, 2002, 02:38 PM

Ok I do believe that my move (Qf6) was probably not a smart move...

Adept, since this is a tutorial game... you could choose to roll back the game slightly, and I take the pf6 move instead... What do you think?

**Poseidon** · July 10th, 2002, 03:34 PM

Yeah, it was a bad move, but you may still be able to recover.

If you don't roll back then I would suggest: Qg6 and take a chance of swapping Queens.
Either way it would force a d e p t to move his Queen. If he elects not to swap, then you can threaten his knight.
Otherwise again like Matridom said, you will have to retreat your Queen and give up some initiative, not to mention waste a move.

btw - would someone update a pic, thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
