And here we are. Yes, you've just broken one of our opening rules: DON'T MOVE A PIECE TWICE IN THE OPENING. But White has a BIG THREAT. A KNIGHT FORK on f7. It's not so easy for Black to stop it. |
If you were Black here, what would you play?
Rh8-g8
Qd8-e7
d7-d5 h7-h6 |
What would you suggest now for White? |
Now Black can gain more time by driving back the Knight: ...h7-h6 Ng5-f3 e5-e4 Nf3-e5 Bf8-d6 |
Right, I hope you remember all that. You'd better, because you're about to be tested on it! OK, ready? |

Black can just play Qd8xg5. He will be a Knight ahead as long as he watches out for AMBUSHES from the White d-pawn. At the moment, d2-d4 would be answered by Qg5xg2. |
