Well, it seems like Topmat has vanished from the forum. Too bad. Our second game was just underway and could have become interesting.
I do hope everything is alright for my former chess opponent.

@Topmat Have fun! Your move is correct. I’ll continue 9. h3

@Topmat 8. cxd4

@Topmat 6. Bxc6+ To speed things up a little bit, I think it’s safe to assume that you’ll recapture with 6 … bxc6 to which I will then answer 7. d4.

@Panther Thanks!

@Topmat 5. c3

@Topmat 4. 0-0

@Topmat 3. Bb5

@Topmat 2. Nf3

@Topmat Excellent. I’ll start with 1. e4.

@Topmat Thanks for the game! Despite thwarting your efforts, I’d say your little sibling does show talent by making a legitimate move. In the mean time, I actually reproached myself a bit for going for the easy pawn grab instead of trying a sharper continuation that I had also seen.

But let’s have a rematch indeed. I’m offering you three options if that agrees with you:
(1) We start from scratch and you play black. or:
(2) We start from scratch and you play white. or:
(3) We repeat the start of the game we just finished but you deviate at any point you like.

Have a pick, and good luck!

@Topmat 11 … Nxf4

@Topmat 10 … Ng2+

@Topmat 9 … cxd4

@Topmat 8 … c5

@Topmat 7 … Nh4

@Topmat 6 … Nxf5

@Topmat I don’t think it’s bad, though it’s probably a less common move. I’ll go for 5… Ne7 in response.

@Topmat Yep, that’s definitely aiming for a sharp game. I’ll of course play the standard move 4… e6.

@Topmat Take it easy and get well soon!
