Nice game! I like the Ruy Lopez (My favorite opening actually)
This is the main line of the Ruy Lopez -
well its not gonna be a loss
Sort:
True I never really move the bishop back just because the knights already defended so the whole a6 push is just black not trusting the b pawn. Also if you move back then just b5 and the bishop is pushed right back. I use that a bit just to create some movement and tempo you know all that jazz.
I definetly like Black's position after 11 fe. ... Re8 was horrible. Bh3 in my opinion was much better with Qg5 to follow
Ok so I was playing their cap. and yet again I won the friendly game after (wish I'd notated that as well becasue it was tought he'd taken a lot of my pieces, a hell of a lot and all I'd taken was like two knights and a pawn he'd put me in check a few times but allowed me to push a pawn up and at the same time use his pawn to block his queen anyway. My pawn covering h and f 7 as he'd castled and them my queen booming into h7 for the mate) Anywho heres the real game I was white in both.
