*Develop* the Knight.

14. ...Bc5


15. Bc1-g5{36} *Rf8-e8* {82}


� Walks right in to a self-pin.


What was the correct move here?



This move is okay-- provided it is
followed by ...Kf7 (which it wasn't).


16. Ra1-e1{38} *Re8-f8* {104}


� Loses material. �Etc.


What was the correct move here?



I decided to completely ignore the
threat of ...Bxf2+ and just gobble as
much material as I could as fast as I
could, and I came out a full piece
ahead, plus pawns.

I figure that 16. ...Kf7 was the last
chance to not hang any more material.


� As far as I can see, the program did not
go wrong in the very first few moves, but
rather, it was outplayed in the middle-
game and put up no fight whatever in the
endgame.


Still I added 2 openings from various sites. So next time you play Bc4
you will get moves as per opening. So it will save your time.



I didn't like Bc4 in this opening; the
Bishop can get kicked around or be
"forced" to trade for a lousy Knight (or
else retreat with loss of time). Next
time I may try the Morra Gambit.
