1.f4 (0:00) g6 (0:00) 2.e4 (0:12) d6 (0:08) 3.Nf3 (0:08) Bg7 (0:09) 4.Be2 (0:05) Nf6 (1:10) 5.Nc3 (0:07) c5 (1:01) 6.O-O (0:17) Nc6 (0:06) 7.Rb1 (4:12) O-O (0:59)
KRMCHESS(2078) whispers: I'm not a fan of 7. Rb1. Having said that this opening is weird as it started as a Bird and is now a Grand Prix attack in Sicilian. Having said the Be2 looks a bit misplaced for white although black's best play in grand prix attack is usually e6 and d5 so black is a bit suboptimal too
8.b3 (1:27) a6 (1:24)
KRMCHESS(2078) whispers: I guess white is following the reversed dutch setup with extra queenside fianchetto you can't play as black cause you lack a tempi in those lines
9.Bb2 (0:11) b5 (3:36) 10.d3 (3:06) Bb7 (7:56) 11.h3 (0:41)
KRMCHESS(2078) whispers: Nh5 looks promising especially as white has just weakened g3 square

LightKnight(1951) whispers: d'oh
14...Ng3+ (0:17)
KRMCHESS(2078) whispers: 13... pxd4 was actually stronger but now 14... Ng3+ wins exchange

KRMCHESS(2078) whispers: 14. Kh2 was equal
