CCC Practice Game

[Steve B]

i offered to take on the CCC/CTF Forums at a pawn and move odds game
i will be operating the Tasc R30(1993) which clocks in at just over 2300 Elo

i suggested a 24 hour time limit and i will try to reply with my move sometime on the same day the forum players make their move

the FINAL position and PGN :

In this position I would consider c5 or Bb7. To be honest however, I think Bb7 is safer and involves less risk at the moment.

My vote would be for 1. ... Bb7

...e6 or ... Bb7. Same plan. Just a difference in move sequence, that's all.

However, you gain a tempo by playing Bb7. Opponent has to react to your threat else he will lose a pawn. With e6, he'd just develop his pieces and castle as quick as possible. Bb7 kinda delays his quick castling.

So, logical vote has to be for Bb7.

I think Bb7 can be part of other plans also.

Bb7 is best. It develops a piece and seizes the initiative.

Agree to that, but possible Bb7 is better.
