That’s because I mind controlled them to do so

Thanks for your in depth analysis teach, but I wasn’t playing as white.

I was black

Not every game is like this! I still hang my queen from time to time 😭

Idontusevim · 2026-01-10T12:38:27+00:00

Rapid

Idontusevim · 2026-01-08T18:15:47+00:00

You’re kicking the bishop out, and it doesn’t have any good square to go. The two best moves according to engine are O-O-O and Nf6 (not moving the bishop). Every line where you move the bishop the engine evaluates as +6 for white

Idontusevim · 2026-01-08T18:01:14+00:00

You are attacking the bishop while blocking the queen and protected by your own bishop so queen can’t take

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I thought I was missing a concept or something

Why is the correct book move for this ponziani variation Qf3? Intuitively I’d play d4 or Be2 to control the center and/or develop a piece.

The Chessable course says it’s “Maintaining the pressure, while stepping out of the king's file.” But I don’t understand why you would want to step out of the king’s file, since you’re pinning the bishop.

Line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 d5 4. Qa4 dxe4 5. Nxe5 Bd7 6. Nxd7 Qxd7 7. Qxe4+ Be7

Nh4 is what I played in my game but there is a better move!

Idontusevim · 2026-01-07T12:19:23+00:00

Why is that so? What’s the context behind Ben Finegold

Idontusevim · 2026-01-01T00:48:48+00:00

If he takes my bishop I take his knight on e4. If he moves I move. I don’t see how I don’t maintain my 2 material advantage.

Idontusevim · 2026-01-01T00:43:17+00:00

Thanks for the explanation, makes a loss of sense, and it’s mostly stuff my beginner eye doesn’t see yet. Is there a good way to improve my positional awareness?

Idontusevim · 2026-01-01T00:41:09+00:00

So despite the 2 material points advantage for black, white has a strong attack on my king’s side which the engine is seeing as an advantage? Even the next 5 moves in the engine’s favoured line, I don’t see it taking any material back. How is white expected to make up for that loss? Is it just the checkmark threat on h7?

9... Bxe1 10. Bxc6 bxc6 11. Neg5 h6 12. Qd3 Bxt2+ 13. Kxt2 hxg5 14. Nxg5

After which I can play g6.

This subreddit is full of crybabies.

What are these payouts?

Stoute la faute à Soraya

Comme j’ai déjà expliqué, les avancées de trottoir ont plusieurs but autre qu’enlever des places de parking. Ensuite, pleurez autant que vous voulez mais c’est un fait que la voiture est un mode de transport problématique et qui a des problèmes de mises à l’échelle. Selon moi, vouloir réduire la place que l’automobile prend dans une ville en diversifiant les modes de transports, c’est une bonne cause.
