Meglet May 2021 10:20am, 16 May 2021 21,819 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I made a couple of poor choices but looking at the analysis it was pretty close and I had my best accuracy in ages of 84% to your 94%. Well played.
Meglet May 2021 10:21am, 16 May 2021 21,820 posts	Quote Pin Meglet Going back tk our previous game BanjoBax, does the opening you used have a name? I could do with looking it up, even if only to recognise and mount a defence next time! Need to know how to defend that pawn attack on the outside rank!
BanjoBax May 2021 11:21am, 16 May 2021 5,104 posts	Quote Pin BanjoBax I was playing a Jobava London as white, a newish variant of the London system, TBH only know the basics myself. Ginger GM has a good intro here ( pawn advance about half way through) https://youtu.be/bPLrXjQyNFQ There's a lot of anti London and possibly some anti Jobava stuff on YouTube, if you want to invest the time. Simply I'd say consider blocking the h pawn with your own and keeping an eye on the position of minor pieces, as white aims to have the majority and advantage on the kingside. Also consider counter attack in centre or Q side. Or check out what the higher division folk did to block me out with little difficulty in their games last month.
