Torre attack question

Sort:
Jamesfleming1986

I'm a very new player. I took one of those elo tests and depending on which one it rated me 1000-1200. Anyway keep that in mind. I don't know how to make the animated chess boards so I'm sorry about the notation.

So after d4, d5

Kf3 e6

Normally if they move their knight out to f3 I would pin it with Bg5. However they didn't do this. Normally I would make c2 to try and wait for Kf3 but suppose they don't. I've tried pulling my bishop out to attack the queen with Bg5 but then this follows:

Bg5, f6

Bh4, g4

Now if I move my bishop back they will move their pawn forward and I lose my knight. I also can't move my bishop to b4 because they will simply play e4. E3 isnt an option because then my e pawn can't advance. D2 block s my knigts squar . Is the lesson here that you can only move the bishop to g3 if they make Kf3? If so, what do I do with NY bishop? My pawn moves and knight will block it in. And all my queenside pawns will block it in forever. So what do I do if they don't play Kf3?

If I messed up a square sorry I'm doing this by memory in my head. I think you all know what I mean though. Thanks a lot.

No, it's really hard to follow. Please read the thread about how to use the Game Editor in the forums. (The little chessboard icon)

Sorry, this is my best guess at some of what you were trying to say.

I think that you should read a book on how to play the Torre Attack.
