I wanted to upload an image of a recent game but can't work out how - can you upload images on here or does it have to be a url to another site?

rooperi

do you want to post a game?

You can upload images using the tree icon above the text box, but that's not a good way of posting a game.

I like black better. He has the two bishops, more space (freer game), his knight is better placed than whites, blacks queen is playing an active role. The two positions are really close, but I think that chances are with black. The advantage of the two bishops in this game is really going to show.

Nekhemevich

I would also point out that white in this position looks ravaged. There is not much advice to help white at this point.

Nekhemevich

I've played Magnus app many times so I know what ravaged feels like. It's when everything is forced and your position ends up being scrambled. That's what I meant. :)

Nekhemevich

I can suggest a few candidate moves for white: h3 is an idea. restrict the pieces so black can't play Bg4. probably best. Nc4!? is an idea attacking e5. Re1 solidifying the center.

Nekhemevich

maybe a combination of Nc4, a4, Ba3

White's a little awkward, but he's not dead. Maybe because the opponent is the computer you rate it so negatively. Yes black is better, but it's nothing big yet. If he gets a few moves like Bg5 Nc4-e3(or d2) he's fine.

The main difficulty seems to be how to organize white's pieces. Nc4 fails to Nxe4 for example.

Meanwhile black's play is simple at least for a few moves like Be6 and a rook to b8.

Nekhemevich

that's great but I don't see how Nxe4 doesn't just lose a piece

Nekhemevich

and the purpose of Nc4 is mainly to put pressure on e5 so you can attack blacks d6. Meanwhile after Re1 you can open the e file with moves c3 and d4

leiph18

I was talking about Nc4 Nxe4 dxe Qxc4

Although Nc4 Nxe4 Nxe5 is something to calculate out.

Nekhemevich

Nc4 is one plan, but I go with h3, Re1, c3, d4

leiph18

Oh, to me the purpose of Nc4 is OH SWEET JESUS MY B2 KNIGHT IS FKING TERRIBLE and c4 gives it access to d2 and e3.

Nekhemevich

which I first thought, but then to what end. Yea white has the center but not much else.

I agree improve the knight. Seems a little out of place on c4 and e3 it isn't doing much but it does block the e file there.
