no brah the black king has still a square on a5 so it is not stalemate. but yes that motif of stalemate is eventually there in the position, thats right.

Would it be an inaccuracy to play h6 just to prevent the pin Even though my center is protected? I really hate getting that knight pinned especially when I already play Nc6, meaning I can't play Nbd2. If so how would you recommend getting my queen out?
Also don't get discouraged about your rating I'm sure it will improve eventually

how many fide rated games have you played?  Because it should be much higher based on your chess.com play.

Yeahh Good Afternoon, I have a question, now that atheism is the fastest expanding way of philosophy in the world, how is that going to affect the stock market in the New York Stock Exchange? I had this question popping me up during a chess game, so you have to answer.

Careful what you wish for; they might mistake your entire account for a bug and delete it.

@cpow24: regarding your question about when to play h3/a3 in order to stop a bishop coming there and pin your knight.

Here a few thoughts to consider about this:

-If your center is stabilized these pins are generally not very effective so you might think twice before "wasting" time on a move like h3

-if you have already castled the pin can be very annoying as you can usually not just play h3-g4 to unpin your knight because that would weaken your king safety. in these cases you might either not castle in this direction or you play the preventive move h3 and castle afterwards without any worries

-if your knight that got pinned is protected by another piece than your queen often times you can just remove the queen to some active square on the queenside which will unpin your knight and make use of the fact that blacks light squared bishop does no longer defend the b7 pawn. this being sad often times in queens pawn openings Qb3 can be very effective against the Bg4 pin so you dont even need to waste time to prevent it with h3.

-there are often ways to tangle your way out of the pin, always look for those. one example is to put the queen from d1 to d3 where it also protects the pinned f3 knight while also unpinning it. another example is in the closed spanish game where white transfers his queenside knight to g3 where it can in combination with the move h3 chase away the black bishop on g4.

@Bilbo21century:

I played around 200 fide rated games, probably more.

@pranay_p:

honestly I cant help you out there as I dont play this with white. I would suggest you the Qc2 lines anyway. You might look your f3 stuff up in a database though.

@JealousCastleBlock :

I doubt that they randomly close accounts
