Is anything better for me than the Parham?

@alexlaw I was saying white is giving away his opening advantage by playing the Parham, that is to say Black is equal without effort

Here's the mainline as I see it:

And I apologize for putting Bg4 instead of Bg5, I just got back from tennis and wasn't thinking my best.

is it even possible to be aggressive without wanting to gambit?

if you're afraid that your attack would fail then you can either study some games of the opening, or get better at calculating to actually find out the resulting position of your attack.

if chess was so simple that a certain opening would provide an unstoppable attack for a certain color, then chess would only be as interesting as checkers

Comment in game.

Maybe it is better, but in my line I show him how weak is Queen in field at Opening. My pieces are making threats, so it's like making fun of strongest piece itself. There is a point in my line. If you don't believe me, try to find better squares for White Queen.

But you know, Gavinator wants to be attacker, so he should play as Black this Perham, don't you think?

utarefson

Somehow I feel, you wasting your time.

Well, that's just because, when one is learning how to play properly "normal" Opening, he is also learning how to bite tactical mistakes like early Queen rides.

I could teach you few things. Let's play some games (live with long time or online).  I will be ready around hour and half from now, or tommorow if you'd like. So try me.

this is houdini based lol, don't mess with the ultra bot.

Yeah... I was thinking, I don't agree with a few of those moves.  Tried my own variations, then looked with houdini, and seems anthony's moves were much better than mine ;)

Good job then Cool

I thought the point was white's not busted, he just gives automatic equality... so equality doesn't sound so impossibru to me Laughing

@alexlaw -- lol which cannon?

I am unable to access the server to play live.... can you?

I see there is much use of high level powerful engine to determine truth of opening here.  If Parham is even after seventeen moves, can one use same engine to determine balance at move seventeen of mainline Spanish for example?  Or mainline of King's Gambit? I think would be helpful.

HongQPark

Can I ask why it is the case that 17 moves is easier for one opening than it is for another?  I am genuine in my curiosity. :)

Preparing the development of the dark squared Bishop.

6…d6

The idea of Bg4 is powerful. 7.Nc3 here can transpose to our mainline. After 7.Bg5?! Bg4! We have an interesting position. 8.Bxf6 Bxf3 9.Bxd8 Bxe2 10.Kxe2 Rxd8 and material is even, probably leading to a draw, but there are still quite a few pieces on the board so a lot could still happen. The alternative is 8.Qe3, where the queen’s awkward placement is quite nice for black.

You actually did recommend 6...d6, followed by 7... Bg4 if 7. Bg5. In that case white wins a pawn.

HongQPark

Oh, so you spent countless hours analyzing *this* opening? :0

@Gavinator we are past that line  :P

But you give Houdini analysis after move 17 above.  I am confused.  Undecided

The_Gavinator

This is the line you recommended, with like really long theory... Give me the most current one?

The_Gavinator

What happened to Bg7?
