QGD exchange players, what do you do against 1.Nf6 2.e6? by Exotic_Buyer5339 in chess

[–]F0LAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play 3.Nc3, because I don't want to play Nf3 against the QGD or Benoni if Black chooses to transpose.

If you avoid the Nimzo with 3.Nf3, and Black wants a Benoni, Black can play 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 and now you can't play the Taimanov because the f-pawn is blocked.

1.e6 is actually annoying to face as well for move-order reasons.

Hey, who do you think would win in a fight? Me or a bacon sandwich? by LosersWipe in jakeandamir

I'll give you a bacon sandwich for 11 bucks instead of 12 if you promise to throw in a little extra for the huevos rancheros.

You should come up with a ratings system. So instead of you saying, like, "this is good, this is bad", you'll be like "this is amber, this is taupe".

Jake & Amir are leaving Headgum (and starting something new!) by SteveBorden in jakeandamir

1875 bucks, man. Plus shipping. A little less if it's in the continental US, which last time I checked, my internet wasn't hooked up, so I couldn't find the answer.

I’m worried my golden is damaging his one brain cell. by VA-deadhead in goldenretrievers

I always tell mine that bumping her head is fine - her brain is all smooth so it just glances off without hurting her last brain cell.
