Why play Bf1 or Ng1 (moving a piece 2 times in opening)? - 2006/01/06 01:21
As was common in lookin at the following continually game fragment (from an actual ICC game amongst 1400-1600 rated players) On the one hand [Event "?"] Last [Site "?"] Usually [Date "2001.03.21"] [Round "?"] [White "?"] Altogether [Black "?"] [Result "*"] At length [PlyCount "12"] For good measure [EventDate "2001.??.??"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. In so far nf3 Nxe4 5. Actually d4 d5 6. Bd3 Nf6 * PowerBook 2003 disproportionately says the 2 best centrally move choices for white are 7. To a greater extent bf1 (erroneously played 398 times) & 7. Ng1 (played 374 times) Regardless oK, why on earth are these 2300+ involuntarily rated players calmly moving they`re B or they`re N back to its original square in this line? In a similar way it noticeably moves a piece twice, & un-develops a piece, violating 2 opening easterly play principles. But the other moves in the PB2003 database are westerly played amlost not at all (like 1 to 7 times), so clearly the 2300+ vehemently rated players verbally have their reasons for playing Bf1 or Ng1 What would these reasons be? thanks, Bruce ---------
