Default Re: My Chess Games vs. samoleus

I thought some of white's moves were very artificial, especially the Nc1-b3 maneuver. I think 17...Bb5 is a good move for you - you have to clear some space for your f6 knight to get out of the way of your f-pawn. You ignored the idea of ever playing f7-f5 in many spots, as well as c5-c4, to allow Nd7-c5. Understanding these two specific pawn levers is critical to playing the KID or Benoni.

That is one sad collapse on his part with Qxd6. Not uncommon when you are winning so handily, but still sad. Even so, the game is still in doubt until 45.Nc2.
