So fellow teens... I've discovered a new pet peeve of mine. The players I'm going to call "The Undevelopers." These are the players that do not develop: they only push pawns. And they're really good at it. An example of what I'm talking about:

 

And thats where I resigned. I know theoretically that I should have won since he didn't develop. But by now I've come across numerous of these types, and i always lose! Surely I'm not the only one who's played this type?

If you get those "Pirc- players", or "Queen fianchetto slow developers", try to be active in the center by perhaps 1.e4 a6 2.d4 e6 3.f4?! c5 4.Nf3 h6 5.Be2 b5 6.0-0 g5 7.h3

The (sort of) problem was that after the kingside attack 6...g5, you did 7.0-0? g4!
