1. d4 |
Hello my name is Fred McGriff and I'm a retired baseball professional. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... g6 |
It's been a while since I haven't seen 1..d5. I am already expecting to lose. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. c4 |
I ignore the problem and proceed as normal hoping for a (perhaps impossible?) transposition somewhere down the road into QGA, the only thing I know. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... Bg7 3. Nc3 |
Still pretending like I don't notice the fianchetto | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... d6 4. e4 |
I reckon I need to take control of the center now. I begrudingly do as I've been told. | ||||

|
4... Nd7 5. Nf3 |
I'm dying to castle right now. I feel very uncomfortable and naked. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... e5 |
Well here it comes, a direct attack on my D guy. I knew we couldn't just stay friends and move around on the board forever. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Bg5 |
I want him to move his f pawn up to block in the G bishop. Shot in the dark. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... f6 |
To my surprise, black does what I wanted. I thought for sure Ngf6 would be the move. But I guess it's right to put pressure on my bish here too. | ||||

7. Be3 |
I don't mind moving the bish back because I've seen it done by the masters. So right now I feel like a master, moving him back and forth. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Ne7 8. Bd3 |
White castles sound good right now | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... O-O |
I imagine Black Castle would be like Krystal's. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. O-O |
At this point I could put down about 9 or 10 sliders, White Castle or Krystal I don't care. Kobeyeshi (sp) endorses Krystal's so I'm leaning that way right now, plus there's one close to my home. The only White Castles around here are in the frozen section of Stop n Shop. | ||||

9... a6 10. Qb3 |
Threatening a c5 here. I am really clever. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Kh8 |
He sees right through me like it was nothing at all. I think I read somewhere that it's good to have the king cornered so I think this is a good play on my part. I really have no idea. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. a3 |
I usually do a3 when I'm not sure what else to do. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... f5 12. Bg5 |
Pinning the donkey to the Queen. | ||||

|
12... exd4 13. Ne2 |
Well he's up a pawn but now I'm threatening to recover it with both my donkeys | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... c5 |
Okay so nevermind, that pawn is pretty much lost. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. exf5 |
I like this move because it frees up the E File. I do like the fact that I'm messing with the pawns around his king. | ||||
