That's twice now that I've moved my queen into a bad spot without thinking, lol.
Devin

It's a pretty trap, lol. Fortunately I saw it while waiting for you to move. I think.

well, I might as well go for it.

well, it seems pretty closed, so i figured if i can just mantain the closed structure losing 1 rook shouldn't hurt me. i am surprised you moved your queen back, as i was tryin to figure out how to operate with her in the vicinity.

Very, very aggressive decision of yours. By moving you king you give up all hope of a single move king-better-position AND moving rook into play... so you really want to take advantage of the fact that you've removed my knights from play while you have both of yours in a very knight centric setup. Methinks that my job here is to defend against you knights from overpowering me until I can bring my bishops and rook advantage into play. If I keep you at bay long enough, you lose.

Weird. I didn't expect you to give up your rook. I figured you'd just give me the pawn. I wonder what you have planned!
Devin

I've been looking forward to making this move. I want to see if it works, lol.

It's dangerous to try breaking it open without a solid endgame in mind, lol. I'd rather take the stale.
Mike

I've had it happen before, but I ended up losing trying to win the game with a sacrifice.
Devin

I sorta want to do that now for entertainment value, lol. WALL OF PAWNS: GG. :D
Mike

agreed, we could end up blocking the whole board off.

King's Indian is bizarre. At least, it is the way we've played it out, ahahaha. I can honestly see this game ending in stalemate without a single piece taken. ^^;
Mike

Yeah, I wasn't sure myself
Devin

I honestly don't know where to go from here, lol.

I was wondering which pawn you would move to save your bishop. I actually thought you'd move the other one to complete the King's Indian setup, lol.

I find this three pawn row is usuaaly weak, but i will give it a shot.

King's Indian. I've wanted to explore this one for a while now.
