Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2334): This was just about the first game I played on Gameknot. My opponent obviously loves playing chess - he is still a member of GK - but hasn't progress beyond the level he was at 5 years ago. Let's see what might be learned from the game. Napoleon's Opening. Already a departure from more 'usual' developments, this move has serious drawbacks for the sake of obtaining early pressure against f7. … |

Annotated by taufiq (1766): Most people love 1.e4, because it gives great start for white; it opens 2 lines for the queen and bishop, and it controls a part of the center. Black does the same.. Known as Napoleon's Opening. Mostly used together with a Bc4-placement, aiming to checkmate black on f7, with Qf7#. I wanted to play Philidor's Defence, with the next moves: Nf6 and 0-0. But I'm not so sure if that was the best… |

It is not as easy to exploit as you think and although I play out the recommended lines of the database things are about to go belly up big time for me. 7. ......... a6 - this is where I start to play conservatively, a little too conservatively. 11. ......... Qe7 - the dsb exchanges do nothing to relieve my… |

Annotated by atomicpc (1166): Kings pawn opening. Scholars mate? White should be careful not to under develop. Now it's mate in one if black doesn't respond correctly. Stops scholars mate. White can't play Qxf6 because blacks queen is prepared. Black might need this pawn here later to bring out his light squared bishop. Backing up blacks knight. Now the knight is attacked twice and defended 3 times. Getting the king to … |

Annotated by howtoquantum (1937): ?! There is no reason to bring the queen out so early, as there are no threats and no weaknesses in black's position. Also, it can allow black to advance his pieces while pushing your queen back as is seen in the game, and finally it takes away the best square for the knight, inhibiting your own development. stopping Nd4, for now... and now black takes charge in the center the only use… |

Annotated by opus692 (1200): Standard opening. good response So he is looking for the 4 move mate...to defend against this you either advance your pawn to f6 or your knight to f6 but not this!. ..Remember, the f7 pawn is the weakest pawn on the board and is often the subject of intense interest by your opponent SO here, if you missed it so far, you have three options...p-f6, kn-f6 or bishop -e6 but not this, not this at… |
