Never Copy What You Don't Understand!

    It's always a great folly for beginners and amateurs to try and imitate what professional chess analysts comment on various games. Take for example, the following : e4,d6/Nf3,e5/Nc3,c5/Ne2,Be6(placing the bishop on a powerful diagonal)/c3,f6(no doubt to "provide support to the e5 pawn", but useless otherwise!)/d4(the alarmig 'Y-structure' along d4-d5-c6-e6 ought to have rung alarm bells but didn't!),Nc6.....now you guess the only move! I guess black was thinking of protecting the c4 square or whatever, but it was a massacre very early in the game!

    Agreed. He wasn't copying anything I don't think. Good players don't go for this structure...
