The Pterodactyl is a very varied opening, with dozens of variations. One of the most important is the unpin variation 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 c5 4.Nc3 Qa5 5.Bd2!?, setting up a discovered attack on the queen. Here is how I think Black should handle it:
i would go Nxa7, (Bb5pin queen)then go Nxc8(if blck Q take N, then Qf7,else Nd6check!) lol:-) dnt know if that would help:)
The notes are there. There is some Chess Assistant flotsom, whenever you see %. Chess Assistant does some non-standard PGN, unfortunately.
the annotations are not working, I can see only meaningless characters,for example %30^030
Thanks I missed the annotation.
You don't want to play that line, Black is dead. e5, not e6, must be played. That's in the notes.
Hey could you help me out with this position.
30.Rxg4 seems to work but it doesn't after 30...Nxg4 31.Qxg4 Qxd5 and White will lose his bishop on d1 for nothing.
