he should play d3 before Nf3 "obviously". :P
otherwise, nice game, the result was never in doubt
Reverse Rossolimo Nice Game against stronger opponent
Sort:
Well you didn't do anything wrong... Maybe there are improvements but I wonder if they're really significant. Qb3 and Nf3 sort of ignore the center of the board and Nxe2 came seemingly out of nowhere. Maybe 7.d3 is better but for the most part White ignored the center for the entire game and then lost to a tactic in the center.
21...g5 kicks the knight away and allows Qe2+. That should freeze White's queenside well enough since the d-pawn is only protected by that bishop on c1.
Playing the Reverse Rossolimo as Black was fun, and while I won against my higher rated opponent, does anybody have any suggestions for improvements?
