And my rating should say 1824p, sorry
Watch your backrank!
Sort:
in general, putting your knight in front of your unmoved c pawn in a queen's pawn game is a bad idea because your c pawn is one of your best weapons in queen's pawn games, and blocking it is actually giving black an advantage on the second move. After d4 Nf6 Nc3, black's c pawn is not blocked, and his kingside knight is developed, making his development faster

Yes, that was very general indeed...
oops haha nice catch. it's fixed now.
yes...as my opp. showed in the game
playable, yes, but it does give away a signifacant advantage, as shown by the game explorer- after 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3, it gives a 39.1% black win, a 32.9% white win, and a 28% draw.
Compare this to 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4- 38.9% white win, 34.2% draw, and 26.9% black win.
It's not that I think that the first few moves are all there is to it, It's just that I was going to leave it to you NM's to tell him that on move 22 he could have won a pawn with Qc4+(I'm not exactly sure, there look to be some complications) and that he shouldn't leave his back rank open when there's a queen ready to deliver checkmate.
It was about the same time I learnt to block the 4 move trick that I learnt to watch out for back rank checkmates...
You should have done a move like h3 to prevent that.
did u read my beggining ?! I was black, dont "you"me
Shame about your opponent, giving away a winning game...
You can fix the details (such as the rating), by clicking edit on the upper right-hand corner of any box you've submitted. After that click on the diagram showing the location of the chessboard you've submitted and click on the same button you did when you created the diagram/post/puzzle. Sorry.
This is a game on queenalice.com I played where I played not good, and won down two pawn because I got lucky.
