A few days ago I played an away chess game for my local club... however my opponent saw that i was a junior and knew that us juniors tend to know an extensive amount of opening theory! Well atleast thats what he told me at the end of the game. So instead of him playing a usual opening structure e.g Sicilian he decided to approach the game in a slightly different way.. the game was alot of fun and there were probably some better continuations ... the time control was 1 hour and 30 mins for all the moves and i was playing with the white pieces.
This belongs in the game showcase forum.
Unless you have a specific question, games that you win should usually go there.
The usual idea of ...b6 or ...a6 on black's first move is to have the setup ...Bb7, ...Nf6, ...e6, perhaps ...Bb4 if white plays Nc3, where black plays for an eventual ...d5.
It's not great but it's playable. Black in this game didn't do any of this. Black should not allow fxe5 (white should have played this one move earlier).
Well played by white.
