Somehow I pulled out a draw our first game but he ripped through my Sicilian. I used a variation that doesnt exist that I thought existed in my brain hahaha What is your "Sicilian"?

It gives you the ability to virtually play the game. You can move both your and your opponents pieces back and forth. You can also flip the board to see your opponents perspective. Example: In your mind you are trying to decide a move. You play the game in your mind...if I move here, and my opponent counters there then I will move my knight and that's checkmate. You can literally plot those moves on the analysis board, often resulting in an...omg I can't do that!...moment. For those of us who, despite our best efforts at remembering, fall short in that department, going back and reviewing the game allows us some equality with those who have no memory issues. Plus, it is a helper when it's your move but...sorry I have to leave for work now, or, it's too late I must go to bed now. Also, if you enjoy watching other player's games, you can put their game on the analysis board and do the same thing. Suffice to say, it is helpful for both the inexperienced players as well as the master's...at least in on-line competitions where interruptions are common place.

It allows u to "think" farther ahead without actually doing it. I guess technically if u are in a bad spot u could play the game out with every move possible it would take an infinite amount of time. Edit: I'm not sure if I'm opposed to it or not. I just know in a OTB tournament you dont have one. But like joc said online games are different if you have many going on and forget what you were actually doing.

E4c5 has many variations. I use to have most of them memorized depending on what the opponent does. Dragon, naljdorf(sp?), ect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon, naljdorf(sp?), ect Thanks...I thought it was some kind of mafia move.....like making an offer (move) the opponent cannot refuse; a queen's gambit of sort, only it's a forced and unnoticed move. I'm no chess expert, just an amateur who has not played in decades. I should have pursued it in my youth, as I noticed that this game helps with my senile dementia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah they say you get your best game as a youth. I'm pretty sure I was much better when I was addicted to it but when u get older you have what seems like years of no game play and come back rusty as hell !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
