I think you're overestimating me... I haven't hit the books hard yet and there's still a ton that I need to learn, especially against the Taimanov or the Trompowsky. But yes I love playing against the Dragon or with the KID

*Taimanov maniac here*

Hehe I barely know anything about d6/g6 systems but I can fill in the gaps on e6 setups for you!

Also got a little bit of trompovsky prep from a weird rapid game vs a 2100.

YES I need practice against the Taimanov!!

I used to play the French and QGD Semi-Slav so I'm not completely in the dark on e6 setups but I really need to learn more about specifically the Taimanov. I think my record percentage against it is way too low bc I know almost nothing.

d6/g6 systems are some of my favorite so if you want to know more I can help you with that! Also the Modern is a nice one to learn, and it's really fun to play in blitz and bullet. tbh I learned a lot about it from Hikaru but the offbeat g6/Bg7/c6/d5/Bg4 type setup has worked really well for me.

I’ve been continually working on my set repertoire for OTB and would be glad to practice the English, Sicilian and Modern—Pterodactyl defence against a stronger training partner.

I play to a 1500 strength OTB. Online I prefer 5/5 or 15/10 unrated games.

Well, I play the English and Sicilian (and was U1300 OTB at the start of this year lol about 1400 rapid) so that would be very interesting, never really understood the modern so can you teach me a bit about it? This could be nice.

I like the possible transpositions to hyper accelerated dragon, and flexibility into the beefeater or KID lines depending how white responses on the 4th move.

The only opening out of that I have experience with is the KID lol

I’m not a fan of the KID so it’s my last alternative. It’s just theory deep and a straight forward plan from both sides.

You might like the beefeater line if you like to spice things up and spite white’s positions. You give up your dragon bishop for a wrecked pawn structure, counter play all over the board and white has a hampered position that’s difficult to play out of.

Let's just see I've tried similar setups and I can win

Then again I've got a 10-25% record after hanging a piece in blitz and a similar record with the modern as with 1.a4 soooo...

Was learning a bit of the classical line yesterday

As for the beefeater, seen @B1ZMARK show that before

So you want to play or no Ninja? I will play a game or two if you are up to it. Don't have a tone of time tho, trying to get to 1600 in blitz.

Thanks,

Hey buddy, can we play? I haven't studied lately and that's why I'm in bad shape, but when I play concentrated I can be a decent opponent for your level. It would help me so I start studying again. I have played a lot of bullet lately and I want to replace that with quality chess.

Great! I'm kind of astounded with the number of people at my rating level 100s of points higher in bullet and blitz lol.

Rapid is the real deal imho. Can we play a 10 minute game or slower this week?
