Q&A and Personal Game Analysis

 Hello Schliemann group, i finished today a game i played as black using the Jaenisch and i will try to share with you my thoughts,concerns during or after the game. The truth is that i dont have much experience using the opening and this is the reason why i joined the group, so thank you Logozar giving us this chance to learn more about it.

 My game was played in the 4.d3 line only that my opponent instead of the theoretically 7.Qd3 he played the popular 7.0-0. I followed the instructions to get rid the c3 knight and i equalize the position rather quicly until i realize that i couldn't escape from draw. I would be very happy to bother someone explain what i miss, or maybe an improvement to play for something more.

Hope I can help with this.

I am not a pro, so I might be able to help with the opening stage but not sure about later technique (you seem a little stronger than me there)

Remember, this is a drawing resource (black equalises quickly) but you can not FORCE an advantage with this opening. You get an advantage if you outplay your opponent after equalising (like any opening) or if the opponent does not know the opening well.

Does anyone else have any imput?

Thank you Logozar for your analysis. As I said , I am not familiar with the opening and I couldn't find so far any book to read some theory about . Our group forum is very rich in informations and I will definitely use the opening again. You may right about the attacking chances with Bd7 and 0-0-0 but I had in mind to use this line first and I was afraid off this open b file.

I believe the computer evaluation from lichess is not accurate. I don't feel that my moves was the best ones but as you described in critical moments I was chicken out! From a technical point of view I feel that the position after 15.cxb3 can be played from black much better but I can't prove it. Lack of knowledge and experience. Anyway thank you again and hope next time I post to have more to show and more attacking spirit.

I recently played a game with a sideline I am not an expert in. Can someone offer thier opinion on the game? It was 40 min per side, and I was black.

Here's my first naturally occurring Schliemann. Granted, my opponent made a couple blunders, but I'd still appreciate feedback.

Alright, here is what I think on the game.

 Thank you logozar! Just one note though: I moved 7... e4 because, having looked at your analyses on the "How to deal with 4. Nc3" thread, I read post #5's analyses for 7. 0-0. It was captioned with, "how to basically force a draw." I didn't want to force a draw, so I looked at the other options noted, and chose one. I did not see 7... Bc5 in that analysis. Perhaps you might want to add that to the analysis?

 Hi , Schliemann players! I finished my first game in our second team match challenge and i am ready to take a look inside. My opponent blundered quickly in the middle game and resigned but i find interesting the prospect for black to play for a win in this line.

Thank you, perhaps I will add later.

Great game Bishop!

I personally like 16... Rf7 better

as well as d6>Qg6 (You mentioned this)

Perhaps we can find the best way for black to play for a win? If you have any ideas post in any forum

I went to our local chess club and I played the Schliemann/Jaenisch defence to suprise my higer rated opponent. It works, it became a draw.

No need to go down a pawn in that line:

Nicely played otherwise

In actuality I believe fxe4 was slightly better than Bc5, just my opinion here
