I'm afraid that does not compute.
What would Black's Best Move Be in This Predicament?
Sort:
Darn. I think I did something wrong in the embedding procedure.The moves didn't appear.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bc4 Bg7 4. Ng5
Presumably he's going to play 4... e6 with the idea of getting in d5.
The real question is why White went on a fishing expedition with the ineffectual 4 Ng5.
What andy said ..e6 protects the f7 square, prepares d5 and attacks the knight as it uncovered the way for the queen from behind it.
Black has an advantage.
Just two questions:
Q1) What would Black's best move be in this case?
Q2) What could Black have done to protect the g5 square from the Knight in a way that still fosters development? It seems a "freebie" perch for a Knight when the Fianchetto is employed, and moving the f6 or h6 pawns to cover g5 messes up the King's shelter.
I look forward to receiving any advice. Thanks!
Hope I posted the chess board correctly.
