    Carolus,

    With equal strength or weaker players it will often trash their game plan bad enough that I either win outright or force them into a time pressure panic mode...

    Ken


    When playing Black, I don't really have a "game plan". I'm mostly reacting to White's moves, looking for a mistake, trading pieces when I can, and looking for a way to gain a draw. This is assuming I'm playing a reasonably good player, e.g., Carolus, and not my sister.

    I'm still wondering why White doesn't take the pawn at move 13, i.e., Qd3xd7. My best response is Bc5-d6 to somewhat enclose the queen, but there are ample escape routes and White is then a pawn up.

            You're killing me, Carolus. Are you sure your name isn't Fisher? Or maybe, Alekhine? How about Nimzovitch? Or... could it be... Betty Joe Beolyofski? (Sorry, bad reference to Firesign Theater).

            But you are killing me. That's a fact.

                • Kcbob,

                  If I remember correctly he did get you to offer up a finacial incentive, one months payment on the local mansion. Isn't that the usual tactic when hustling pool or horseshoes?

                    That's right!!! Ya know, now that I think about it, maybe Carolus Rex is Swedish for the Cincinnatti Kid. And I would make a good Minnesota Fats.

                      ROTFLMAO!

                      Good one, kcbob!

                      I like that movie, but as I recall it Minnesota Fats kicked Eddy's butt the first time they played.

                      Have you seen the sequel with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise? Pretty good too...

                      Still thinking about my next move.

                        Oh, I'd forgotten that. Haven't seen the sequel.
