First game with the new profile ;)

My board looks like this so I'm excusing any mistake or blunder in this game

It's hard work being an egirl

Anyway, decent Colle game, a4 was a mistake I know, then I miscalculated the knight thing, and then I flagged him in 10|0 hehe

that board isn't bad look at mine

good game tho

well yeah but mine usually looks like a gray slab so it was a big adjustment

7.a3 is completely useless! ARRRRRRRGHGHHHHHHH THE OPENING PLAY HERE 

it stops nb4 trying to snipe my bishop

Nb4 Be2 and black will have to move his knight back when you just play Bd3 again

but wouldnt you just kick it anyway with a3 or would you play something like c4 if white tries to add pressure on c2?

Basically you bait black into playing Nb4 and then you move your bishop, kick it out with a3 later, and it turns out black has not gained a tempo at all

isnt the bishop kinda useless on e2 though, you'd have to use another tempo to put it back on d3 (unless you dont idk)

yeah so nobody loses a tempo
