Hmmm. Torp wants to exchange queens. Okay.

My move: 8. Nb1-d2

Wow. Eight moves in and we still have all of our pieces. What's wrong with us? :lol:

8. Nb1-d2....Takeda's move

8. d4

More pawn pushing.

We can fix that.

Torp's last move: 8...d5-d4

"Schlag auf Schlag"? What have you guys been drinking? Or have your wifes threatening you that they will get divoced if you haven't finished this at the end of the weekend?

This is how I see it.

So if Black just would do it, then White could go on with that, and heaven would have it's ways, so that we all would be able to be one happily family again, and all this hostile aggression would soon be over.

9. c2-c4.....Takeda's move

9. Bf8-d6

"Schlag auf Schlag"?.....I'm afraid I'm going to need a translation on that one. :hmm:

Word by word it means " hit by hit." It means: events following each other in very fast, very quick succession.

Sky is refering to our enormous build-up of material on the center and, now, on the queenside.

Torp's last move: 9...Bf8-d6

My move: 10. a2-a4

The infantry are certainly earning their pay in this game... no resting at home for them, its off to the front you go! :D

I know why I never play this opening. Beside Sicilian Defense and King's Indian probably no other system has so much theory to be aware of.

This special variation on display here listens to the charming name: "Machetes in the jungle".

Why are you writing oneliners here, Scandium? Haven't you some homework to do? Hoosh-hoosh! :lol:

:rotfl: Quick, let's call Gambit Publications. We've got a new line!

Yes scandium...the ground pounders get no rest in my army. :)

10. a2-a4....Takeda's move

10. b4

Torp's last move: 10...b5-b4

My move: 11. a4-a5

Its an intense opening. I've tried the Ruy a few times but could never get the feel for it.

Skybird as your move was not very palatable I needed some time to digest it :P

11. a4-a5.....Takeda's move

11. 0-0....finally got to move that periscope.

About time that you guys woke up! I started to feel a bit lonely here...
