There is no way this game could be serious, but who knows, it is the internet, I dont know the guy. The entire a-e files are completely blocked off by pawns, so the game began to be quite strange... Kind of funny when you think of it. It was basically playing with half the board for half the game.

i try to avoid locked pawns that make a wing completely neglected.  i dont get why a lot of players use black this way, trying to get white to push all their pawns forward as to close the game.   And it's not even that fun to play.

Well, I thought it was fun =$. It was basically a game with a huge blockade, so it became kingside v kingisde, but we both castled that side, so it became a fun challenge.

A pawn blockade would make drawing easier, so it would be useful when playing for a draw.
