When opponents mirror your opening

7...Nc6 not correct, Black wants to trade Qs on e5 not e7.

White will have an extra pawn on e5 with the Queens off, but it is Black's move, and he can immediately attack the pawn which lacks its natural defender, the Nf3.  What do you do? Sell out structurally with f4? Guard it from behind with Bf4? Pin and exchange the knight with Bb5? These approaches all have drawbacks.  White's even tried returning the pawn with Nc3 Nxe5 Bf4 to try to put Black's Qside under pressure, but I have not seen anything even beginning to resemble a refutation.

I'd very much like to be proven wrong on this, but I don't think one exists.  It's unattractive chess, for sure, but White has quite a bit of work to do to get a full point.

For me that's easy, I would play f4.  This is a case of a long term advantage for White.  White is in no rush to attack.  Keep a firm grip on the extra pawn, and slowly progress thru.

This is different than say, a lead in development, which is short term and demands immediate action, which often results in the necessity of a sacrifice.

There surely is no reason to surrender the Bishop pair (i.e. Bb5 Bd7 Bxc6 Bxc6) in an open position with pawns on both sides.  Trading pieces whenever possible is great for White.  The closer you get to an endgame, the better White gets.  Trading Bishop for Knight is probably the only exception to that.  But otherwise, any other piece trade is great, so if Black played, say, Bb4+, I would answer with Bd2, not c3.

No parroting moves is not what we are talking about.  I understand not only the opening and all the moves pertaining to it, why they were played and the rational behind them but also all moves right through the middle game and on into the end game.  What i dont understand is how to make use of the alleged compensation.  That is nothing to do with the opening or the middle game but everything to do with the endgame.  Why you cannot bring yourself to understand this fact I have no idea.

I have already told you three times I knew what i was doing in the opening the phase, the phase you claim matters. No one has disputed that chess is a whole but you were slobbering on about opening advantages when i have proven that at my level opening advantages dont mean NADA! and I have the evidence to prove it. I had an opening advantage, i was outplaying my opponent right through the opening and into the middle game.That you refuse to acknowledge it does not diminish what it is and no amount of slobbery drool on your part will change that.  I repeat you can study openings for a thousand years it will not make you a stronger chess player. You will probably never lose any of your games in the opening phase and your time would be much better spent on the middle and endgame.  Please dont offer me any more advice about laziness your position is neither logical, rational nor can it be empirically established.

On the contrary i have studied the game with notes and detailed annotations from the chessbase CD 1d4: A Reliable Repertoire for the Improving Player by John Cox making your somewhat ill conceived assumption that of a drugged balloonist and you still seem unable to come up with any empirical evidence for your now ludicrous stance. . . I wont be telling you how anything works out clearly you are incapable of rational thought, but that's ok many people simply prefer to believe their own propaganda and I expect you are no different.  Man its like trying to reason with a zombie apocalypse all ones gets is copious amounts of slobbery drool.

nor a balloon head that is kept aloft by the singular belief in his own propaganda - we are not interested in your opinion, we are interested in evidence, so far you have proffered none.  Here ill post the game for you, ask me about any of the moves in the opening phase and why they were played

It wasn't a DVD, please read the text again and try to understand the import of the words, it reads chessbase CD - that is a CD with detailed annotations - can you tell us how you get from that to watching a DVD and how they are apparently one and the same thing? Now if you cannot get that correct what hope is there for you and here you are pontificating from your room full of mirrors. . . oh dear!

wow it seems that the wheels have finally fallen from your wagon and it now lies a smouldering wreck upon the forum floor - studying material on a CD is not synonymous with watching a video despite your ludicrous claims (actually you attempt to utilise a false analogy) and no one is claiming that chess is the same as politics my logically challenged friend (another strawman argument) now if you dont mind I have better thing to do than remonstrate with you and point out the inconsistencies with your stance so Ill be on my way - wah! wah! wah!

On the contrary its entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand and quite frankly none of your business.

Is it really the best you can do? Try to find the tone control and turn it all the way up, who knows you may do better?

Be gentle with hayabusahayate16. LOL He suffers from a self-imposed Dogma which he created in his own mind.

I have tryed to explain to him that self-imposed Dogmas will stunt his chess growth. He simply does not listen to me. In fact he believes english isn't my first language lol. Which is shown from below.

hayabusahayate16 the word "Lazy" is an adjective.

The Definition = unwilling to work or use energy.

You believe beginners should stay away from systems because it is a lazy approach.

The word "Lazy" is what you are using to describe a series of lines(SYSTEMS). You believe these series of lines(SYSTEMS) are a lazy approach.

Which is a self-imposed Belief/Dogma you have set forth in your mind.

No one esle has said this except you.

Higher level players have said the London System does give equality fairly early yet alot of lines in chess give equality.

So again I say to you I have not misinterpreted anything. Your self-imposed Belief/Dogma is of your own accord and many other players simply do not have to believe that same nonsense.

The London System is very solid. It allows beginners to get a fairly comfortable position. They don't have to worry about alot of opening traps with it. It also helps them learn how to develop pieces very important.

It is a stepping stone in the right direction.
