"greenjeans"! -- Yep, I'd decided to play it, about 7 seconds, before the game started. .. If my 'Kf8' move, seemed odd, {and it was!}, I didn't want to commit myself, {so-to-speak}, Re. castling, before my opponent castled; plus, in 2 min. & 5 min. games, {even, 10 minutes, per player}, you can figure that, an 'offbeat,' objectively questionable move, will Not be refuted, roughly, half-the-time! .. One of the better 'Web' sites for learning more about, the late, Austrian 'GM,' Karl Robatsch, {along with Many other noted, or partly notable chessplayers; including, playing through their games, is, at: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=14860&kpage=1#reply6 .. Even, Grandmaster {Karl} Robatsch' picture, can be found by typing-in his name {among others}, under, the "Google-images" icon's, "Google" search-engine, page!..{d-u-h} .. [: |
