And why would Black push so many pawns? His development is sad. I'd stay >away from this - just my opinion. -Derek. Hello Derek! You are absolutely correct! It did transpose into Petroff's Defense. That Knight at h4 is "ugh" indeed. I can feel confident in saying you are a very good chess player with good intuition. Yes, my development is not good but it is early. Why I pushed do many pawns? To get that passed pawn on the e-file. I hope to push that pawn down Hiarcs throat. Now, I will give you a few other moves to show how I have a very strong passed pawn on the e-file. Please keep in mind that I am not a Grandmaster, and if I don't win this game it will not disprove the line Hiarcs played is bad. Hiarcs still has a minus score. Furthermore, in both openings I presented, after 8 moves Hiarcs has a minus score. Now the next few moves and notice the powerful passed pawn on the e-file. 9.fxg6...Bg7 10.Bd3...e4 11.Be2...Qb6 12.Bh5...Kd8 Now, I am not saying I have the game won by any means. However, I think my passed pawn is well supported and will be a thorn in Hiarcs side for a long time.
