Agree with the long castle.

What I find interesting as a player who doesnt play kings pawn games is the similarity between this opening and the center-counter... interesting i think :D

Sometimes, the centre counter is used to reach caro positions, while avoiding certain offensive gambits from the white side. Of course, you open yourself up to other gambits, or white playing c4 before Nc3 which promises a little more edge than anything possible against the caro.

14. Rhf1 Rde1

What I see him going for is the undefended pawn on f2, and if the knight gets there, he's attacking the two rooks and the queen.
To below: I guess I don't have to worry about that move for this turn, seeing that he'd have to get his knight in a bad spot, and then maybe play Rhf1; I suppose Qe2 would work too but I was thinking about getting the queen on c3 afterwards and maybe push the d-pawn forward to pin both black pawns to the king and queen.

There are much better ways to defend this pawn. After Ng4?! a simple Qe2 leaves the queen better positioned and the knight awkwardly out of place. Don't worry too much about one-move threats to the point that you play passive moves like this.

14. Ne4 is best

The plan is 14. Ne4 O-O-O 15. g3, threatening Bf4 later on, and preventing infiltration in some lines where we do c4-Bc3

14. Ne4. We're still pretty much in established theory territory.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Wow, freaking mid-terms made me miss the last move But I'm pretty much back (not that my incredibly deep analysis was missed :p)

But I'm voting for 14.Ne4

I've been playing a lot of correspondence games lately and doing much better than in live games. I guess the extra time to think really helps me, let's see if I can get to some of you guys levels.

I think we should consider Qe2. 14. Qe2 practically forces 0-0-0 because otherwise 15. Nf5. So 14. ... 0-0-0 15. Ne5.

Then either 15. ... Nxe5, or 15. ... Nb6.

15. ... Nxe5 is good for us, because we simply play 16. dxe5 Nd5 and we have more space.

15. ... Nb6 16. Ba5 and we also seem to be good.


14. Qe2
