Bxc3, if Nxc3, Qd4+

I think this is the point where I resign. Good game Pablito. Want another with colours reversed?

[Zwischenzug]

Qd7 was a good move, prevented my usual h3. I didn't think too much of it at the time. An immediate 10.d4 instead of 10.f4 would have been more to the point.

[Paul Cavezza]

Sure thing! 1. e4

I'll put it in a new thread.

Here is the thread.

Qd7 was a good move, prevented my usual h3. I didn't think too much of it at the time. An immediate 10.d4 instead of 10.f4 would have been more to the point.

1. Is e4 / that setup with e4/c4/d3 usual? I wasn't sure what white's idea was but Qb3 is definitely inaccurate because it just encourages Nc5 + a5. Plus c6 is a useful move for me anyway.
2. weakness of the dark squares with Ng4, exf4 and then a good g7 bishop was interesting.

[Zwischenzug]

Qb3 wasn't usual, but having a bishop on Be3 is (but wasn't possible in this case). That would have defended by weak kingside dark squares. I should have tried Qc2 instead and make way for b4, taking away black's outpost for his knight. Also playing d4 instead of f4 wouldn't have given me dark squared problems.
