Rules and Stuff:

- Literally all forum rules and chess rules apply.
- No computers, or outside assistance. If post-game you somehow manage to make the

exact

moves stockfish would recommend, I may suspect something like you're cheating and may ban you from here.
- glhf
- My first move as white will

always

be this move:

Spoiler:

Addendum:

Banned Users- No-one

- If moves (otherwise known as "pre-moves") are allowed. Namely: if 1. ... e5 then 2. d4. If you know that the opponent will only have one use (probably because they're in check or their queen is pinned to the king), please use a pre-move. Also look at my intro post for more information on what if moves should look like.
- I will always play white in this, and I'm facing all of you at once. Lesgo.
- Feel free to commentate any of the games, rofl.

I mean, I'm playing anywhere from 0-??? people at once.
May start a game against myself.

Making one move for both white and black.

Fixed causing this thread to softlock hopefully...

Take 3:

Continuing along with this game:

Qxd6 isn't an inaccuracy/mistake/blunder imo because of what it sets up. Nf3 is a mistake because it allows the queen to be pinned to the king, and in order to escape with the queen, white has to sacrifice two pieces to escape it.

So be it. May the better one win.

Korina · Post Post #11 (isolation #8) » Mon Mar 19, 2018 1:33 am

If 3. ... Nf6 then 4. d4

Korina · Post Post #13 (isolation #9) » Mon Mar 19, 2018 2:22 pm

If 5. ... Nxd4 then 6. Qxd4

Korina · Post Post #15 (isolation #10) » Tue Mar 20, 2018 7:49 am

Familiar line for me, actually.

Korina · Post Post #18 (isolation #11) » Wed Mar 21, 2018 2:17 am

Nah. I'm used to Sicilian dragon, and aggressive trades.
5. ... Nxd4 is actually something I'm not used to playing. I'll take a look at what stockfish says about 5. ... Nxd4 v 5. ... e5
Stockfish:
5. ... Nxd4 {+0.7} & 5. ... e5 {+0.1}
Yea, so Nxd4 is a worse move than e5.

I'm actually used to 6. ... bxc6, but I always hope for 6. ... dxc6?? because it drops queen, and prevents you from ever castling, because 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8

Sidenote: Happy Birthday!

Interesting move. I didn't anticipate that.

Very interesting move, I will admit. It does mean that if we got for a mass exchange line, you come out winning.

Edit: Literally a second later, after playing around with my move on a lichess study (with the computer disabled, I'm not a cheater), I found a very interesting line from this position.

I'm actually not sure if that puts you or me at an advantage.

Korina · Post Post #22 (isolation #13) » Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:12 am

I see your trap. If I played 9. Nxe4 then you play 9. ... e5 causing a pawn fork.
Also, advanced ahead a move, because your options are either: Kxf7, Ke7??, resign or offer draw (which I will decline), it's obvious what move you're making. (Kxf7).

Korina · Post Post #24 (isolation #14) » Wed Mar 21, 2018 11:41 am

Check.

Also, it's a trap if it looks like a great position but it actually leads me to a worse position.

Also, time to be the evil super-villain.

rubs hands together... evilly!

MUHAHAHAHA! I spent 40 minutes debating if 11. Bg5 was better than 11. Qh5+. I'll let you guess which one I thought was better.
I also looked at a bunch of lines for each move, which made my lichess study really really cluttered, so I deleted every move involving 11. Bg5.
Also, all but 1 line I saw from all 3 options you currently have (11. ... Ke6/Ke7??/Kg8) all lose your queen, and possible checkmate you.

And finally, please don't fucking play 11. ... Ke7??. Just don't. For me. We both know that move is the literal worst move possible. :3

Interesting position, nevertheless.

I broke the previous page. Sorry.

Fixed it.

I have no idea what broke it. I literally don't. Oh well.

Korina · Post Post #33 (isolation #20) » Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:09 pm

Yea, Kg8 was the best move I found. The next moves really determine the game. I have massive advantage and mate threats, but you can interfere with them.

Korina · Post Post #34 (isolation #21) » Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:18 pm

It seems like mate is inevitable in this position. There is now a giant block of moves in my lichess study.

Have to take it. No other good lines exist. I thought Be7 was really interesting though.

Let's get the knight out and have him go around. Let's let him see the world.

Interesting moves you're making. Oh well, my plans still go along not affected.

Korina · Post Post #45 (isolation #28) » Fri Mar 23, 2018 2:29 am

I think we're pretty even in terms of who's winning. I'm pretty sure if either of us do have an advantage rn, it's me.
Namely because your king is quite vulnerable.

Korina · Post Post #47 (isolation #29) » Fri Mar 23, 2018 3:05 am

If 17. ... Bxc5 then 18. Bxc5

Korina · Post Post #48 (isolation #30) » Fri Mar 23, 2018 3:09 am

Sorry for edit. Secomd after I t thought knight move is better.
If you’re willing to let it slide, I’ll allow you to take back 1 move as well in favor of something else.
