I fell into the chess rabbit hole. Now you will fall under my extensive knowledge of the Bongcloud.
First to reply to this post/make a move is my opponent.
lands on 1, I'm white.
lands on 2, I'm black.
Original Roll String: 1d2 (STATIC)
1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Edit: I found out I don't know how to use the dice command

I'll play you. Dice roll would be fine, but is invalidated since you edited the post so here's a new one.

1 = you're white
2 = I'm white

Tarrasch is fun if you know what you’re doing

I definitely do not know what I'm doing in the Tarrasch but this looks right.

Unfortunately this variation is considered inferior for white. The corect thing to do according to Tarrasch was to keep the tension and wait for a good opportunity to take, as white will be left with an isolated d-pawn and if 5.e3 is played that doesn't really strike at the center.

Interesting. I get the bishop pair, but you have a better pawn structure and a slight lead in development. I can see this being better for white, shoulda played something like 5. … Nf6 instead of 5. … Bxc5

The most annoying move would have probably been 5...d4, I end up okay but with an awkwardly placed knight on the rim.

I like the German word better but that's just because it's fun to say.
