Hi all, Thanks to all involved for creating this civilized message board. I have a table top Kasparov Olympiad which I can currently beat at level 6b. It is not the highest level, but response time is about 3-5 hours and it will crush you tactiaclly if you make the slightest miscalculation. My question concerns what it was attempting to do in the following passage by playing 7...Ne7 instead of 7...Nf6. It was a Scandinavian defense, in which it was behind in development. Was it simply inviting me to grab a pawn and hoping to complicate matters later on? It appears to be a poor move and I was surprised. Any insights would be appreciated. thanks. # Joe Olympiad 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. d4 e5 5. Bc4 Bb4 6. Ne2 exd4 7. Qxd4 Ne7?? 8. Qxg7 Rf8 9. Bh6 Nd7 10. 0-0-0 Nf5 11. Qxh7
