I played in a recent slow time control tournement a couple days ago. Round one I lost, and am posting it here. I fully annotated it with my thoughts, but question marks on the moves I regret. Please tell me your opinions, and analysis. I am fine with criticism, I just want to get better
You are a 1600 elo player how did you get nm title????
Move 6...a6 Annotation:
I wanted to play d6 and protect my pawn, but did not want him playing Na4 exchanging my bishop.
Oh Son! You put your bishop on c5 at move 3!
If you are scared your bishop is going to get taken.
Than you should call the Police!
If not than you should not play this line!
The bishop on c5 is a target.
White will not want it there.
If you can not accept the loss of the bishop here than you should not play this line.
My recommendation would be to play the move
3...Nf6 = Two Knight Defense
or
3...Be7 = Hungarian Defense
Ok, ok. Tempi is much more important than the bishop pair. Thank you for your input, I will continue to play the italian though. I will focus on development and other more important things, and only then try to retain the bishop if there is not a better plan.
I understand that it is a target better now, thanks.
