What's the point?

cxd5 exd5 then, dxc5! And black has an isolated pawn.

I don't know what it is about those 4 center sqaures. I get the names wrong all the tie.

All the tie?

Sometimed I really wish I could blame my phone.

HA! THAT time it was the phone!

It happens to me too. Spell-checker doesn't consider the context.

Cheap Singaporean knockoff.

LMAO!!

I just checked its an i-Phlone

iPhlone?!! ROTFL!!

cxd5 exd5

correct

Thanks for your comments guys.

I see now. 

I know with this opening, opening the c-file is very common. That alone should have been enough to get me to make this move. But, to be honest, at this point in the game, I was a bit lost as to what to do. 

Tigerprowl: I made a mistake. It's white who gets the isolated pawn, not black!

Oops! Sorry, I really was black. Argh! Lee is confusing me. I mixed up cxd4 & cxd5.

I'm contagious.

Do you have flu?

Thanks for the line Second.

The position you have eneded up with is similar to what I expect from this opening.

From the starting position; I am not really eyeing the h7 square. At the most, I am trying to force black to divert energy to defense of the king while I work on improving my queen side.

It's becoming clear this failure to take that d pawn was the root of my eventual loss in this game. I think my opponent was much more used to this type of position because he did a pretty good job of taking advantage of the weaknesses I created trying to generate some play.

cxd5 because the pawn will be isolated after you later play dxc5.
