We're not up against a scrub here. Take the time, put the pieces on a chess board and play out a few different continuations and you'll see that this is the moment with which castling leaves us with the most flexibility yet allows very little in the way of tactics on his side. If he doesn't castle in reply now, but instead defends the c3 pawn, he'll be severely limiting his future options. If we take now, we're already committing some of our flexibility, something that may be the right thing in over the board situations, but not when we have a while to think it through. This is the time where more in-depth analysis starts to shine. | ||

Also how are we sure he's not gonna use a computer engine or something!! or us for that matter. it's kind of an honour system. I would hope no one uses an engine or it ruins the entire purpose of the whole thing also On October 26 2009 05:55 Kazius wrote: + Show Spoiler + For the simple reason that if you think a few more moves forward, we will not have as good a time to castle as now.

Bb4-Bxc3+ | ||

Going way off-topic, would using an engine to analyze my games improve my play? | ||

6...d5; 1 vote 6...Ne4; 3 votes 6...Bxc3+?; 5 votes 6...0-0; 6 votes 6...c5; 2 votes please, dont let 6...Bxc3+? win. That it has so many votes says a lot about the quality of players on the black side. | ||
