The point of learning chess is to win, so if it helps me win, then yes, i'll play the Parham.

mahdimakarami, it looks like you obviously don't know what you're doing, I'll spare myself the trouble.

So you criticise my smothered mate domination against an opponent 250 points lower as black but are happy to use a much closer win against someone >450 points lower to support the Parham?

mahdimakarami-1993

my big mistake was in 10.i can play better than this but perhaps i win later!

An example of the parham winning.

 

I actually think it speaks against the parham that black has equalized by move 10 (before d5?!) despite being down 500 rating points, although play before that was full of innaccuracies. Nb4 seems like a strong idea at many points, a pretty thematic way to play against the parham.

Here's my line against the parham, someone should have improvements though.

Moves 8 and 9 seem pretty useless for white IMO

What would you suggest?

After Ne4 Qe8 Rfe1 Qg6 black can build an enormous kingside attack, while I don't see any prospects of active play for white.

Ne4 is the only good way to prevent Ng5, after which black gains an enormous initiative. After 11. Qg3 Nc5 should give black at least a slight edge.

Shepi, I still don't like 0-0 for white. If a pin on the f6 knight is to eventually be attempted, then white should play h3 then g4, 0-0 doesn't suit this well. I still like 0-0-0, so both rooks can work againt black's king.

p.s.- what was the line where Nbc3 is bad?

shepi13

I was wrong, white has some computer tactics to escape, based on the difference of d3 vs 0-0, which I thought would help black.

As this is a probable draw, white shouldn't be happy, but I believe black should fight for more here and try to improve upon this.
