Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

P x KB5

Goofy looking file @ KB atm, but nothing lasts forever.

You chose not to trade queens!:wtf:

Surprised me bigtime.
It would have been to your advantage.
So, I'll ignore your impudent pawn for a moment and give steel to the grand lady.

Q X Q. Check!

You have no choice here.
Your only option is K X Q and that is good for black because once the king moves, he can no longer castle to either side.
And white has lost the first move advantage

Then I'll move QKn - QB3 to cover my remaining center pawn.
And we now each have 1 power piece developed and I still have a center, (albeit isolated for now), pawn.

What's happened in the background is, I've regained some time and the tempo is now even.
Study the last few moves to see how that happened and you will understand a stratagy that most players are unaware of.
They play only to gain space.
You will play to gain space and time.
Your opponents will never know what hit them.:what:

I say this now, because I plan to do it again.
If I pull it off, I'll be 1 full move ahead.
Kind of a "Martian method" for chess.
But this time you will know what I'm after, yah?

I can see that you've done some studyin', my friend.
But, we are going to explore angles here that you will not find in most chess tutorials.
Weeze.
