So we "sacrificed" the pawn without getting an attack going cause we wasted one move for castling...
Yes unfortunately we did. We were the only two voters who opted not to castle.
I will change my vote to keep things interesting. I think I like your style of play, so:

Nxe5: 2 votes (hermesesus, galdur)

Our pawn sacrifice is one of the more respected opening sacrifices for black at the GM level. It is far too early to panic! Play through some of the games from this line to see some of the possibilities. Our pieces are about to become active.

Bb7 makes no sense at all. It defeats the purpose of black´s gambit. White just plays Nf3 and is a good pawn up.

Anyway, I vote Bb7 to not waste even MORE time.
please dont take his knight yet...or you will bring his rook into a position where we have to move our knight without making an attack

Today in the European Championship, Ivanchuk v Svidler in a Marshall.

Better not let down your guard after the opening in this dangerous variation...

Why don't we use a online multiplayer chess game that has more graphics?
It feels like DOS

Holy shit that game went exactly like our current game has gone. I stopped looking at it when I got to the last move in our game.

Sorry there´s 36 pawns at lichess. So many so easy to lose count  Grin

Fun game. Try it.

Very cool!

The most move we are all thinking the same way. funny to see.

It´s pretty much a forced line and theory.

I couldn't find any alternatives where we would come out ahead on the exchanges.

Black sacrifices a pawn for a lead in development. He gets initiative. It´s kind of double-edged for both sides which is why it often leads to enjoyable games. Which is good because truth to be told most chess games are pretty boring affairs.

Makes sense, it does seem like the possibilities are getting close to being all mapped out taking the uncertainly away. Seems like it's more of a learn all the moves and counters rather than make them up. Maybe time to add a piece to the game! Smiley

Yes, and this king queen bishop stuff was old long ago. Why would a queen be the most powerful piece? It´s ridiculous. Animals would be perfect. Dog, horse, cat, bear, tiger.Pawns are always pawns though.  Grin
Are there any decent mods being played? It seems just changing outside pawns to move 1 or 2 anytime could completely change the game and throw some excitement back in for awhile. Tongue

I'm easily bored. Smiley

There is a fun variant called bughouse which most people prefer to play with a partner

There are some variants  Hueristic, like arranging the pieces on the back ranks in a random manner. 960 chess and Fischer chess are two versions of that. Bughouse and more. I sometimes play Horde chess where one side has the standard setup and the other has 32 pawns. Or 34 maybe sometimes. Go to lichess.org and watch them play these most common variants. But classical chess is very much set in stone and unlikely to change fundamentally any time soon.
