Back Over 1500, pt. II
Here is the game I referred to my previous post:
CelticDeath (1493) - NN (1776) [B07]
TCCC Normal, IL, 11/8/05
B07: Pirc Defence: Miscellaneous Systems 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 c6 I wasn't quite sure what type of opening this was, but it sure seemed like a Pirc to me. No king's fianchetto, though. After the game, I asked my opp what it was and if it was a Pirc. I forget what he called it, but Fritz sure calls it a Pirc (miscellaneous line)!4.f4 Normally, I play a Byrne variation, bringing my darksquare bishop to g5 before moving my pawn to f4. However, with my opp's last move, I knew he intended on bringing his queen to a5 to pin my Nc3.
4...Qa5 5.Bd2 e5 I didn't really calculate at this point, because I liked the opportunity to remove a my opp's Nf6, which I felt maintained my initiative while strengthening my control of the center.
6.Nd5 Qd8 7.Nxf6+ Qxf6 8.Nf3 Bg4 [Fritz: 8...exf4 9.Bc1=] 9.dxe5 dxe5 10.fxe5 ...

Trying to get cute with tactics.

Nice game.
Instead of 9. dxe5, I like 9. fxe5. My plan would be to castle then you have the rook bearing down on the queen and f7.
For example:
9. fxe5 dxe5 10. Bc3 Nd7 11. Bc4 Be7 12. O-O O-O 13. Qd3
If he takes...
9. fxe5 Bxf3 10. Qxf3 Qxf3 11. gxf3 dxe5 12. dxe5
This is the Pirc, it's just that in this line, with an Austrian Attack, Black doesn't fianchetto. In fact, the book moves don't castle for Black, either.
Good game.
It just keeps surprising me how you can have such a low OTB rating while performing so well at CTS. It seems to me that there must be something simple you do wrong in your OTB play.
Tempo, my problem seems to be thought process. I'm too much of a risk taker when I play. I think I'm beginning to take care of this problem, though. Also, I don't play nearly as many OTB games as I do Internet games. My FICS rating is 1744.
Christoper, Fritz offered the move you suggested as an alternate move.
Nice work. That got a bit wild in the middlegame.
Solid game. Welcome back to the land of 1500. I hope to move there some day. I'm told it's nice ;)
Thanks for sharing your game.
Thanks, King and PMD.
PMD, you'll get there before long! I just hope I'm passing through....
