This is pretty much going by the book but definitely not one of my favorite openings. I lost a tempo with the e5 move and I haven't developed my pieces except the King's Knight. I also don't like my pawns sailing on the board this this early.Enes CanTear You Apart vs. One Brow

I thought I made some comments about this a while ago, but with all the hubbub around arriving home tonight I probably didn't get it posted properly. . . .
I've seen this coming for some time, and have thought it through. It does look like I just have to accept this pawn loss. . . .
I've looked at downstream aspects of accepting a loss of my rook instead, and taking the bishop and a couple of pawns in trade. . . .
I'm going to look at it all again for a while before making my choice. . . .

I'll be patient about this. . . . .
It's typical French opening, though I can't figure out which variation it is, most probably it is called advance since in the most openings with a pushed pawn in a variation, it is called that way. I usually used to play exchange variations in French and the similar openings including cross pawns. But I though it might be somewhat disturbing for the black King's Knight to push my e pawn so I decided to went with it for a change this time. Anyaw, there is nothing not to like other than that from the black's perspective(and except maybe the early Queen advance) so I think it's natural that you like itEnes CanTear You Apart vs. One Brow

I love the fact that you give us your daily normal life schedule as well most of the time. You are certainly a very unique poster because of this and many other quirks like this. You are still one of my favorites on the forum.

Part of it is to apologize for myself for getting distracted by people who think they count more than JazzFanz, a popular delusion held by a lot of folks who are in the families of JazzFanz members.
Chess devotees generally have a similarly fantastic set of VIPs.

I wasn't aware that my daily life schedule could be called "normal". . . . . . .
Yeah, who do they think they are!
Seriously speaking, I think you have the closest daily life to be called normal around here, considering the average Jazzfanz member lives in the basement of his mom.

One more thing I want to look at right now. . . .
Okay so instead of doing the Kd3 which worries me a lot on general principles, my move is f5

The Advance variation is a fairly solid position for Black, if you don't mind being cramped for a while.
I haven't a clue what you folks are talking about.
I could never bear to delve I to chess books. Makes as much sense as reading a book on mud wrestling.

I already made my move OB.
For me, chess has always been about the attack. It's the revisit action of the modern wisdom of academia, "Publish or Perish". But you have to prepare for the attack. The various openings, whatever they're termed in the books, have merit only in reference to their usefulness in launching an attack. The merit of any defense is essentially the same.
Here I am wandering my King around in a large deep hole, while OB, I believe, has made an even worse choice. . ..
If I moved my King forward to d3, his pawn attack could present some advantage to this particular situation for him. I thought I could still come out ahead in the ensuing exchanges, but I am about to take the initiative from this choice in direction.
But we shall see.
maybe I can write a book on chess while we play this game. . . .

Ectya (Enes CanTear You Apart) has suggested we start a blitz tournament for JazzFanz. I can organize and keep track of scores if enough people are interested. We could try it with as little as four players or as many as eight or more. I have in mind a double round-robin with a five minute time control for each player, so if we have four players you would play each person twice, black and white, for a total of six games.
The time commitment is only about fifteen minutes (twenty maximum) to play one player twice. If we try to finish all the games in a week or so there should be plenty of time for players to arrange to be online for three separate fifteen minute windows. The two people playing each other would make their own arrangements for a window that works for both and then post the results here.
Since ectya and myself are interested we need just two more players to get things going. The suggested website (lichess.org) is easy and intuitive to play; one player goes to the site, starts a game, sets the time controls, and then posts a link here (the link is done automatically by pressing the "play a friend" button), the other player clicks on the link at the arranged time, and away you go.
Blitz is a great way to sharpen your tactics while playing a wide variety of games in a short amount of time. By nature, the games are much more likely to be wild and aggressive as both players try to win by force before time expires. It should be fun, so no reason not to at least try a few blitz games! Please let us know if you're interested.

I agree that your taking the initiative would be a good thing for you. It will be interesting to see what you have in mind for that.
