Interesting positional game. I've never been very good at playing these systems that don't challenge for the center early, but they seem sound when they are played well.
Soon champ ?

I am in a game right now that I think is going to go in a very similar line. LOL I just made the 2....e6 move.
Aaauuggghhhh!!!
I played this position before in Live Chess, and made the exact same mistake 7. Bd3!! One of my frequent stupid moments, lol. I really hate this position set up, cause in many cases it can lead to bouncing around pieces, and not really getting anywhere--which is something that has led me to make some insane sacs just to make things happen. My impatiece is one of my worst problems with chess. Plus in this position there's no early center tension to enjoy, like Eric said. Interesting game, though. It ended pretty fast. Who was playing the pieces against soontobeworldchamp, if I might ask?
Oops, I left that out. It was me.
We're you playing white or black?
I thought you might enjoy this.It was against a fellow called soontobe worldchamp.
