chesster3145 vs TheronG12 correspondence match

Yeah, that's rebutted pretty easily.

No point in continuing, I think. Chesster wins the first game.

I'm not sure if the next set of games will start right away or if Chesster wants to finish some of his other games first.

Match score: chesster3145: 1, TheronG12: 0.

Let's wait until 8 games each to start.

Mine are down enough for me. Send challenges as soon as you're ready.

Ready! Games 2-6 start now!

Three of this set are 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 games.

How about some annotation after each set?

I'll start work on Game 1 soon.

Game 2 finished in 15 moves. Theron fell asleep halfway through with the usual result. Good thing there's plenty of time for a comeback.

I don't know if we'll start game 7 now or finish this set before starting the next.

4. Bd3 was a bad move, I think, and 6. Bc2. At that point I was already in trouble.

That's probably the most entertaining game of the set.

The lines after 5... Nxd5!? 6. Bb5 Nf4! are particularly fun.

And 4. Bd3 was a bad move. Best was probably 4. O-O Nxe4 5. Re1 Nf6 6. d4.

I can't play 4. 0-0, the bishop is in the way still.

Well, the plan here is 4. d4 and if 4. ...Nxe4  then 5. d5 to leave the e5 pawn unprotected in turn.

I suppose 4. Bb5 could be playable too.

Thanks for the comments, Pulpo.

3. c3 was an experiment, normally I'd play Bb5 there, or sometimes Bc4. I probably won't repeat it.

Lol  Just realized that I shouldn't show you my repertoire while we're still playing.
