i blundered during the game u showed us
1.e4 * 2.Bd3
Sort:
1.e4 d5 2.Bd3? has only been played twive by GMs, one game was a draw, in the other white lost.
MRO I agree..It is not the best as it is just a waiting move...but it is okay though for amateurial type game..I am just a beginner trying to play
rich it is not a very bad move just a pasive move though...there are like millions(I am exaggarating though) better moves but it is playable,strangely...I thought at first hmm...a hemmed bishop and no pawn liberation...well it is good but there are better
Of course it's playable. That doesn't mean it's not a terrible move though.
I agree with you Pegrin. I also prefer the ruy lopez and scotch...It is easy and normally gives advantage to white. I was just looking for a new way of playing that's all...It may not give the best result but it takes the opponent's time by playing a strange move.It is more of a tactical time pressure rather than a real game plan. I do know the general principles of openings but after >10 moves I get a losing position. I am deliberately breaking it to see how bad it is but it is not too bad other than a queen and bishop being aligned together.
Thanks ouachita....If it does play an early dxe4 means it is accepting the gambit.Maybe you can think of a plan for black(initiating move).However,If he develops it means a gambit decline variation and when this happens I do agree that black has the initiative but it is not a bad position but white has too play more on the defense after the weak start.Instead of initiating the attack.White will be playing defense.It seems like a passing move when it enters the early middlegame.
Actually Bd3 isn't the move that I fancy ouachita...I just play it to see how bad the opening was. I was thinking this blocked bishop and pawn is hopeless but I manage to strive through against Dylan in Chessmaster 10. To my surprise, I blundered at the last moment.I should had played a queen sac or something so that I will have a good end game.Haha..I got checkmated even with material advantage.I wish I had saved the pgn...I don't recommend it against ppl but against a computer the computer wouldn't be able to play as it depends on database since this move is rare, maybe just a bit of luck...I might get an advantage.
