stockfish is recommending to play e5 in move 11 for black. Why is that? What does e5 do?!
Tbh, I have no idea idea what those letters mean. I only ever used English. You know... King=K Bishop=B Rook=R etc..
Besides. Wouldn't it be far easier for you to either provide a valid PGN or FEN or link than asking each person to play out those moves one by one manually?
lichess.org/analysis/standard/r1b1k2r/1pq2ppp/p1pbp3/7Q/4P3/2N5/PPP2PPP/R1B1R1K1_b_kq_-This position, right?
Thanks OzyWho for the FEN. It does make it easier...
I think pushing the pawn to e5 does 2 things.
1. Prevents white's pawn from going to e5 and threatening the bishop on d6. White's pawn would be menacing on e5.
2. Opens the file for the bishop on c1 so that it can get in to play.
I'm guessing that Stockfish might have 'deeper' reasons behind the move, these are just my impressions from seeing the position.
S = Springer (knight), L = Loper (or similar?) (bishop)
Looks like OP is using the German localization.
S = Springer = knight
L = Läufer = bishop
T = Turm = rook
D = Dame = queen
(K = König = king)
That's funny names for Knight and bishop :D.
It's jumper and runner, right? The translations.
Yup.
And tower and lady. ;)
(only the king is the same)
1. e5 prevents the move e5 from white, which would be threatening bishop.
2. e5 prevents a sweeping motion from whites queen across the board to blacks queen side LATER, this may not seem so as Q to a/b/c/d 5 are all covered anyway currently. but if black wishes to develop these pieces he can now.
3. Bishop on C8 is now free to be activated and no longer blocked by e4 pawn.
simplified... hes controlling the center to prevent long attacks by closing diagonals and board sweeping while positioning to allow other pieces to develop.
