hello, another game.

This is the petroff defence
en.lichess.org/YBKFMaOv/black#42
It is a very classic opening
It has nothing special
its a simmetrical opening and I dont even know it
but if u are a beginner ur opponent does not know the theory
either so
Its something to try out once in a while
if u want a normal game
sometimes there is queen exchange in the e file
basically as usual white has the upper hand
and its more likely to direct the opening phase where he likes it
so he can grab the pawn on e5 play knight c3
or even the weak move, slightly passive d3 as We see in the game

So in short its an opening u might want to try just to shake
ur game a little and leave ur main opening, ruy?? whatever it is
for a while
since ur opponent probably wont have a clue anyway
thats the advantage of being a patzer
that u can throw almost any opening to the air
and the game will be decided in the middle game and endgame.

Its the same philosophy of the other day,
en.lichess.org/forum/game-analysis/a-d4-game?page=1
trying to play solid and gain small advantages
instead of going crazy and win a sharp tactic or combination
You can try both styles but a good player ultimately needs to know both

and also u will enjoy more chess if u know how to handle
different situations or ways of playing

So in summary u dont need to go crazy to win a game,
u can play solid moves as well.

this is a more creative game, its blitz hence It has more mistakes
the position got closed and its a kingside attack.

Now im the one playing a weak move d6 because I still dont understand
because I still dont understand playing black a tempo down,
sometimes I get a little cramped, and it worked out the attack
with the h pawn
see the pawn structure its pointing towards his king, thats like the usual idea
and then its just pure madness but I have all the time a better position

I almost got his queen trapped which is kind of nice
not only I have his king under attack but also his queen so He sacked his knight and
then just I just continued pushing

but I should have played exd4 which is what I usually play in these type of positions
the problem is that he then can push the pawn to e5 and he also gets some type
of initiativve or he gets the queen in the center
but here its different because it seems he has the bishop hanging so he has
the knight stick on f3
not sure he can trade first on e7, so ,
I played intuitive moves I did not think, in this game

I dont understand that variation of exd4 and bishopxf6 not sure why black has to do that
instead of taking with the knight
in any case the game changed completely with the pawn structure closed
its a blitz game so, so check it out if u want but dont give it much thought.
