thx
Frustrating loss ...
I like the Italian and the Ruy. Also, I typically have good luck with the King's Gambit. There are things, such as this issue, which I need to further familiarize myself with though ...
d3, probably not bad timing if you were planning Nd5 then Bg5.
i got similar problem, drifting often ...
A question: Has your opening transformed into Giuoco after you played d3?
Or was also Re1 needed to become pure Giuoco though with some timed deviations from main line. I'm so losing when i play Giuco i hardly want to try it anymore.
There are some great examples of Giuoco games posted by a member batgirl. worth checking out for concrete plans with Giouco.
Trouble with the Italian
LoL, where was my HEAD!! Ugh!
You have probably seen it by now; move 6 : Nd5 would have been nice move, d5 sure looked like it was mouse slip (:
Another Embarassing Defeat
FINALLY!After a pitiful record against this guy of 0-27-1, I finally got my win!
Enjoyable Game
Peeled like a Grape
How did I get myself in such a bad way?
I'm typically a good sport, but I'll tell you, this game, vs. the rating I was up against, made me want to hurl the chessboard!
