Hi George >One thing i recommend you to improve is king safety. Gothic Vortex always >castles, while in front of his king there is an attack. It should not castle if >queen and other heavy pieces are in his "field". Look this game. Black's castle >was a suicide: I play d4 and Nh3 and rarely play the pawn push 1. f4, so I have not experienced what you are seeing. > >Me - G.V_1.03 1-0 >1. f2f4 d7d5 >2. g2g3 Ag8h6 >3. c2c3 Qd8d6 >4. h2h3 Bc8f5 >5. d2d3 Nb8c6 >6.

After 8 seconds pn my machine it does not want to castle anymore, with the score going from +14 to -7, switching to ...d4 after 26 seconds. After a 11-ply search is completed (6:11) it is sticking with ...d4. Just another comment about the prior play: Black's opening was horrible. Moving the Archbishop and the Queen as the first pieces to be delpoyed is practically a strategical loss from the onset. The King Safety issue will be addressed as well. Thanks for the games! >13.
