Road to 1600... Let's Go! (Blackmar-Diemer vs. 1500)

[@Redneckchessclub]

Seeing you be concerned about someone push the F pawn has been the highlight of my day so far 😂

[@ChessBootCamp]

I know, the irony was not lost on me.

[@OdinBech]

Greetings fra Norway! Glad you're going for 1600, these games are more exciting, good luck mate

[@ChessBootCamp]

Hi, and thank you. Another follower from Norway, welcome!

[@Redneckchessclub]

24:00 I was screaming for rook takes f4 😂

[@rojavida]

Me too

[@ChessBootCamp]

Ah good call, then a bishop fork.

[@edcraddock9868]

Nice game Ben you’re definitely improving

[@ChessBootCamp]

I really hope so.

[@Simplicity27]

@1:41 Ben: Wow! You moved your f pawn? You should never do that! The next Ben's move: pawn f2-f4 :) I'm confused :))

[@kitsunewhisker]

4:36 I think you are sometimes too late to castle but in this instance I thought C3 first to prevent the knight coming in. But then I always opt for solidity, so idk.

[@ChessBootCamp]

Yes, very reasonable.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That is a tough system to break down. I think you spent a great deal of time considering Bg5 on several moves after rejecting it immediately. You played well Ben. Thanks mate.

[@ChessBootCamp]

Thank you sir.

[@ericpetersman1389]

Theres a beverage here, man!!!

[@ChessBootCamp]

Not the fucking Eagles, man!

[@Lucan23]

Don’t know what the fish says but @4:13 if you traded bishops if they take with the g pawn massively weakens their queenside and if takes with the e pawn you have a passed pawn and have some sort of game plan. Also @23:46 can you sack the exchange and then fork with the bishop?

[@kitsunewhisker]

7:18 sorry but I'm confused as to why you think he would play bishop to E7 and not simply kick your piece out with pawn to H6? In this position I believe you should either pin the knight or push to C3.

[@ChessBootCamp]

Maybe he would, but I often like to see weakening pawn pushes, so might count that as a concession.

[@kitsunewhisker]

@@ChessBootCamp10:42 You seem to keep returning to the idea that g5 is viable because of the bad pawns, but it isn't yet. And now you have to move the knight back.

[@jeffnorthness5815]

I like your style, dude.

[@ChessBootCamp]

Appreciate it, thanks.

[@philtaylor1483]

GG . Well done, Ben

[@ChessBootCamp]

Thank you kindly sir.

[@Jamie-Chess]

[@aaronphipps3035]

Id say fuck it you deserve the 1700!
