Annotated by poder_yaqui (1200): This games stand as a prove that mistakes are the product of relaxing our mind in a simple position. 3.-Nc3 its not very popular anymore beacause white rarely gets a solid advantage out of the opening. 4.-Bb5 was better, entering into a delayed "Knights atack" variation of the Spanish. Be3 was better. A mistake. 7.-Bxf6 gxf6
8.-Nh4 and white its winning the battle on the blockade of the… |

Annotated by dylam (1200): the boring Italian... Better was 7. Bb3. now there is a great weakness on the black squares. of course... 9. Nd5 is worth looking. also 9. Na4. opens black a file. whites a pawn is lost... there is no good place for white's bishop.
i think Be3 was better. wants Qf6 or f5. holding to the a pawn. it is better to give it and start move the forces to the king side. white is… |
