analysing your moves
Sort:
Hi all, I'm new to chess but i have a silly question.
I played this game I was black, he was white, the game was,
E4, E5, QF3, NF6
this is where I played H6.
The idea was to stop NG5 where he could use his Bishop or queen to Fork me, perhaps use a fried liver style attack, the computer says that NC6 is the only good move, why is that? the only reason i can think of is to develop my pieces. but im only a 600 rated player so probably something obvious lol anyway hope thanks for your time.
Hi. It develops a piece, controls the centre and defends the pawn on e5. If you want to avoid the fried liver then look up Giuoco Piano. Bc5 then Nf6 and castles. Bc5 first allows your queen to cover g5 and there is not normally enough time for your opponent to attack f7 before you play Nf6 and castle. Once castled, f7 is defended twice by king and rook, if he finds a third attacker then you have Qe7. These early f7 attacks normally fail once you've learned the defence. In the line you describe h6 doesn't help because your opponent played Qf3 not Nf3 so there is no f3 knight coming to g5. Try not to jump at ghosts. Objectively appraise the threat.

We're missing white's third move here.
