Hmm, I never though about it that way. Maybe we should change the rules a bit, and let black make he first move too sometimes?

I like your thinking! Very creative. I will be adding a note to your profile as well: "do not get distracted by messages about football"

Yes, but experience doesnt haev to be a positive all the time. For example: h3: I have seen it many times. It is still not great. In fact, it a bit slow. Hmm, so you say he's about 70? That might explain this move?

Hmm, trying to beat the guy at his own game? Shouldnt you be using your agility and speed to outrun this guy. I mean, he's 7o your old! Lets have a fight!

Right. OK. I see. Well, then maybe you could try some anti-development, and tell us how it turned out?

Not a bad move IMO...the bishop here supports a later d6-d5 central pawn break with appropriate buildup moves like c7-c6 and Ng8-f6/e7. Also, there's a chess cliche that says "bishops are happiest on their longest diagonals," so unless the "fianchettoed" bishop is permanently blocked in by either it's own pawns or it's opponent pawns, it controls a lot of squares from b2/b7 and g2/g7.

Is it also a good move against anyone of 70 or older? That's what I want to know!

It might be good, it might be bad. But it cannot be undone, that much I know.

I suspect volhouder and deathwollf might be one and the same person: they sure play alike, h3/h6 and a3/a6

Yes, we will remember. Lets see how this game ends then.

For a 70 year old guy, he does know what he is doing! Must be experience. Anyway, I think that is a good move, it is.

I don't claim to be a strong player... but I do agree that white is better here. He's ahead in development and his pieces have greater mobility that black's. That being said, black has no major weaknesses for white to attack. White should probably proceed with a patient build-up of his forces and get the rooks and queen involved before attacking, rather than launching an immediate forray into black's position as in the game.

who cares . . . tell me more about how to beat drunken children

this is hilarious, thanks for the annotation and comments

Well, its still not easy for white to open the door. That will take some more battering. But yeah, white sure is better. But never mind, tell us more about how to beat drunken children!

The bishop is attractive here, but as white soon realizes, the "big bad wolf" is perfectly capable of coming along and blowing down the house on e6. I prefer 10. Qd2, preparing to double up on the d file with either 0-0-0 or Rd1 and then opening the d file with d4xe5.

Well, it actually doesnt do much, and that bishop must not be feeling very safe. I would have played Qd2 and 0-0-0 to put pressure on the d file with rook and Queen.

Developing more pieces? How inconsistent... No, I mean, how inconsiderate!
