SPR Apr 2021 1:32pm, 26 Apr 2021 34,040 posts	Quote Pin SPR White blundered there taking the rook as he was quite a bit up if he hadn't. Slightly different position from the fried liver which comes out of the Italian game. I think the f2 move is more effective there even without errors by white.
Maclennane Apr 2021 1:35pm, 26 Apr 2021 27,222 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane It'd be interesting to see what would have happened if he hadn't, as most moves were forced, but maybe I wouldn't have been able to use some of the positions I did
SPR Apr 2021 2:39pm, 26 Apr 2021 34,041 posts	Quote Pin SPR Yeah it would be. I think it's one of those positions you have to play perfectly. I play the d5 Na5 moves that Jules discussed although I was playing live one time and played the wrong move instinctively which was annoying. I generally just don't play into it any more and go for Bc5 instead of the two knights defence in the Italian.
