  1. scrooge (13.Rd1) go jim!
  2. scrooge gotta love the catalan
  3. AACtrl (13...Qe8) is that easy to learn/play, the Catalan?
  4. guitarspider go Jim!
  5. scrooge I think it can be difficult, but for me I learnt a little bit more about chess when I started playing it
  6. guitarspider I'd say there's a lot to learn but it's not necessarily difficult. You have to be ok with long maneuvering games and like endgames though.
  7. scrooge and be prepared to sometimes simply give up the c4-pawn for dynamic play :)
  8. guitarspider ya
  9. AACtrl (14...Ng4) Yeah I do, but my usual 1.Nf3 2.b3 often leave symetrical positions when there's not much going
  10. scrooge actually that was my way into the catalan
  11. scrooge from Nf3 - b3 stuff, started to experiment
  12. guitarspider Worth giving it a go then. The mean thing about the Catalan is that quite often Black almost feels ok but there's always a nagging pressure
  13. guitarspider it can be quite difficult to handle that
  14. scrooge yep indeed
  15. Inter-temporal (16.Rxd4) Go JimTV!
  16. guitarspider I wonder if 23...Bx2+ is worth it
  17. guitarspider Bxf2+
  18. guitarspider both king positions would be wrecked
  19. guitarspider gg
  20. FunnyAnimatorJimTV gg
  21. FunnyAnimatorJimTV Will analyze later
