Re: Move 12
fxe5. The reason I like this move first of 0-0 is white move f4 securing e5.

Re: Move 12
I vote fxe5.
0-0 looks prettier but we have to get rid of that e5 pawn.
If white protects it with f4, that will "fix" our pawn on d7, meaning we probably will have to try hard not to exchange the white bishops... I don't like it.

Forced??????????Zach Wegner wrote:It's pretty much a choice between O-O and fxe5. I'd go for fxe5, since Qxe5 is forced and then white can't try any monkey business.

I will go for O-O.
Best,
Gerold.
Wish Steve would have castle on Q side.

its not up to me Gerold
i am the mere work-a-day operator
the R30 insisted on K side Castling so K side it was
if it were up to me.. i woulda tried 12.f4 instead of castling.. in a premature attempt at storming the uncastled black King..squandering any advantage i had.. and probably resigning in about 5 more moves
Blitzing Regards
Steve

By castling on the K side you will get the draw.Steve B wrote:gerold wrote:Don't think it will make much diff. which you move first.Zach Wegner wrote:It's pretty much a choice between O-O and fxe5. I'd go for fxe5, since Qxe5 is forced and then white can't try any monkey business.
