Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

Pawn takes Bishop.

My Amazon Guy

Queen takes pawn.

My Amazon Guy

And then I could pin his queen, but his Knight is currently in place.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

So we definitely want to have that Knight moved.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

If I move my bishop to g4, I could swap the bishop for the knight, but he would just take the bishop, making that... Nope, he wouldn't.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

He would have to take the bishop first.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

That might be doable.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

That actually... So bishop to g4, rook takes knight, doesn't work for him.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

I actually kind of like that.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

I don't really know what happens next.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

Does he move the queen somewhere else?

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

Does he move the queen to like B3?

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

Then I'd move the bishop back to E6.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

All right, so most obvious move, queen takes bishop, and then queen takes knight, pawn takes pawn.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

I would be able to take that pawn again.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

And then it's a game of pawn structures.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

So I don't see anything wrong with this.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

And that knight's really problematic.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

The only other combo I could go for is bishop to e6.

My Amazon Guy
Why I Didn't Make a Career Out of Chess

But I just think there's more risk.
