We can be quite agressive over here,
but that suggestion of yours is way out, Steve.

sneaky addition to this post:
Fritz6 is a nice opponent. As I'm a lousy patzer, maybe Elo 1600 or so in STC, I
haven't got a chance against it. Nevertheless I was delighted that I could stand
for 18 moves without creating a bad situation :)
It is remarkable however how an amateur like me always overlooks situations
which you shouldn't overlook, because they violate simple chess rules.
In this position (after move 18.Nd2)
rq2k2r/1p1b1p2/p2p1nnp/b1pPp1p1/2P1P3/PPN1B3/2QNBPPP/3RR1K1 b kq - 0 18
I play 18...Bg4. read my explanation in the PGN attached. I should not have
exposed that king, its feeble position was a small problem earlier in the game.
Maybe I should have castled, and then continu build up on the white kingside.
Fritz6 advised Ng4, but I didn't want white to have the possibility to exchange
his bad bishop against my knight with potential attack power. fritz6' analysis
after roughly three minutes:
Fritz 6 - van Dorp,J
rq2k2r/1p1b1p2/p2p1nnp/b1pPp1p1/2P1P3/PPN1B3/2QNBPPP/3RR1K1 b kq - 0 1
Analysis by Fritz 6:
1. ² (0.31): 18...Ng6-f4
2. ² (0.34): 18...b7-b5 19.c4xb5 a6xb5 20.Rd1-a1 0-0 21.Re1-b1 Ba5xc3 22.Qc2xc3
Ra8xa3 23.Ra1xa3
3. ² (0.44): 18...Qb8-c7 19.Rd1-b1 0-0-0 20.b3-b4 c5xb4 21.a3xb4 Ba5-b6
22.Be3xb6 Qc7xb6 23.b4-b5
(btw I noticed Fritz6 doesn't clip analysis proper (not at all, that is) if you
are only analyzing one variation.)
Any ideas on my assessment of the situation?
