I'll be able to free up the rook by opening up the a file.<BR/><BR/>Scott: LOL Excellent idea! I actually played in a tournament many years ago that was held in the upstairs room of a bar. It was kind of noisy, and this was in the days where smoking was still allowed in bars. I don't think the tournament was limited to players over 21, but I don't think there were many kids.

Ne4 is a mistake. Why? Well the N is well developped on f6 while your Ra8 and Nb8 are still doing nothing. I probably would have played something like 11. ... a5 going to action on the Q-wing. This move also gives your rook and knight on that side of the board something to do. :-)From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.com
