Time to trade off the white B. I have seen this move in some lines. I am a poor memorizer though. That is why I like to play unusual openings and lines. I am not ready to open the center and want to get my f4 out.












Sending my infantry up to breach his defences. f or g is going to open up and I am going to flood into his postion. I am all prepared for a flank atack and all his pieces but one are on the back rank. He has been keeping the middle closed all game letting me prepare. Right now I don't care much about the center or a couple pawns. I will gladly give them up for a couple tempo.

Crafty likes Bc3 and gives me +0.16 with a depth of 14. After g4 crafty says I am down 1.18 with a depth of 14












Got a nice protected baby queen should this go to the end game or maybe for use in my attack.

Crafty likes cxd6 with a score of +0.86.



















Instant move. Ouch. I lost my last game due to an instant move (see below 12 ... 0-0). Tactics are no good with out discipline. Maybe he was feeling some pressure ;-) That is one thing about computers is they don't stick to a plan and don't feel any pressure.
