I was a bit offended that my buddies over at the Kenilworthian didn't list me on their chess blogs list. But with the chess blogging community growing it's becoming that much harder to keep us all together isn't it?
I remember when chess blogging had only a select few hardcore bloggers. We've lost a number of those old veterans but in their place we have dozens more now! It's a good time to be a chess blogger and we're gaining momentum.
Get ready to play in a chess tournament this weekend.
Here's a little video to help you get your engine started. (-or to just learn a little more about the game.)
Almost always, when the Queen Pawn meets the Queen Pawn in the center, White supports with the Queen Bishop Pawn. While this forumation is not as deadly as its brother formation on the Kingside, it is more strategic and hence more practical.
I usually play this. I note that the QB pawn usually moves up next to the Q pawn no matter what Black does.
