Yeah black has some good resposes with his knights that are annoying for white since the rest of his pieces are not developed yet. The big problem if you are giving back the tempo that you get from the f pawn sac

WTF i say straight - it means 3..d5

then the queen takes the f pawn, still gets an ok game.

Rybka considers that 3..d5 is the best move bu7t engines aren't perfect :)

TheMushroomDealer

Hahaha John Shaw's book doesn't have it :)

ChessinBlackandWhite

ok im getting Nc6 and Nh6 also as options. All three lead to a game where white still has play, but less so than in the main lines

ponz111

Two players have not started yet.  Moses2792796 and chesskingdreamer.

Please challenge me to an unrated game with engines allowed  3 days per move you have white 

TheMushroomDealer

yep even 3.Qf3 Nc6! might be better

I'll take one of the slots if the other two don't send you a challenge.

Hi, roi  am considering your kind offer--it depends partially on what happens to the player who has not started yet. So hang in there please!

OK have decided to let roi_g11 play and we have already started the game.

We have 6 games going and hope the 7th game will start soon.

[thanks roi_g11]

Too bad we do not have pfren as one of the 6 but of course he gave a good reason not to be.

I felt the same way. It would have been nice to have Pfren there but he gave a legitimate reason not to.

ponz, is there any way we can watch the game in progress?

I will give up dates. However I do think there is a way to watch the games in progress as before when I played the 8 games with the Black side of the Ponziani people were watching the games and commenting on the games.

However I am not sure how this is done so I will let others do it.
