ya Rule Number 1 to the Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy:
Don't Panic!!!
And yea even in long games (like 1 and half hours, both ways) I play like in a 5min blitz...
That is very very very very very very bad!!!!!
a few times it has worked quite well... I do lose alot of those games though by blunders though...

OK Michael, it's OK, getting better is what's important, and I can make an effort too. Thanks for all your help, it's so generous, and I feel lucky.
Can someone please explain the time control thingy?
ex: Standard Tournament 15|10
I'm guessing 15 is max min/move? 10 is what?
Also, is there no direct link to ones profile? I can only find "edit profile".
15 are the minutes you get on your clock.If they pass you lose from time
10 are the seconds added with every move you make
If it was 15/0 means you have only the 15 minutes
Thanks, makes sense - if you don't look at the lightning tournament.
Think I'll stick with my 3 days per move :p
I have been experimenting with the Nezh. I wish I had found this 6 months ago when I reignited my passion for chess. I find that the pieces are very well connect and a I truly understand the principles. I am finding some difficulty finding the right plan early in the game. When one fails to find a clear plan, should he simply look harder or make developing moves until something appears?
Very good question Promontory.Maybe I will post some illustrative games.
For now I can tell you some of the key plans:
1)Ne5 is always a move that puts pressure on opponent's position but don't play it too soon.Let the opponent first position his pieces.
2)Ne5 can be followed with f4 and a k-side attack as in Gunsberg -Pipe.
3)f4 can be usefull any way as it increases control over e5.Always be sure that d4 is well protected.
4)Bd3 repositioning of Be2 increases control of e4.Be careful of ...Nb4.Bd3 is usually played after a3 or after Rc1 so ...Nb4 can be answered with Bb1 with a later a3.
5)f4 becomes a weakness if Black has played ...c5 and ...cxd4(white almost always has to take with the pawn.A precautionary g3 is a lot of the times useful.
6)If all these don't seem to work, then what certainly works is a q-side attack.Prepare it carefully with a3-b4 maybe Qb3(increases pressure on d5 also) followed by either b5 or a4 if possible.
Next game illustrates how white can attack in almost every area on the board and it is played by a boy that learned chess only 8 months ago.Of course it needs good evaluation skills and practice.
This game is played with typical moves only.The only thing the boy did is decide when it was the right moment to play them.Pay attention to the repositioning of white's DSB at a3 as it apears often in q-side attack senarios.The bishop from a3 controls the important f8-square.
wow that was an expertly played game!! also can you make a thread where you can challenge other players to play against in online chess with Trifunovic's openings?
Why you need a thread for this?Can't you use them with anyone you play?
wanna play some online against ppl that know the opening... :) get more time to analyze it than in live
ok chief
lol ty :)
A game with Black playing quickly ...c4 .White should completely change his plans.
nice!!!!! had a game just like that in blitz but with the OFD but without the Be2.. not sure I won so quickly though!! I think it was the same up to about move 6
lol Paristar I practically do all that already lol.. and I do know a few of who I'm playing.. and Michael... *sighs* lol :)
