I think I have played this to the end about forty times so far, but I have an appointment and then some business to do, including taking my box in for a check-up, and I know I have no margin for error. . . . . if any hope left at all. I'll be back I think in a few hours.

Oh well. . . . what choice do I have?

nah, I really want to look at it again. I probably can't avoid the forced trade.

Probably a lot of good players would just resign here. I'd like to play it out because this is how I learn. In my last-ditch effort to "avoid a Bishop Trade", I make the move

Bf3

So I edited the move because putting my Bishop on the black squares is illegal. lol. had it Be3.

So now I'm unplugging my computer to take it to the shop.

Trading bishops isn't one of my primary goals now. It's forcing you to commit to the queen-side so heavily that I can pick up both of your king-side pawns while not losing one of mine.

See you back after your computer is fixed.

I considered kicking the bishop immediately with h6 but I want to hold off weakening my pawn structure until I see how things play out.

So the box is in the shop.

In regard to what I've learned from this game. . . .and from my recent phone app chess games. . .

My style of play needs an upgrade to compete with folks in here.

I seriously thought OB would take his King down with his pawn in the b file. I was unable to force it that way, where I thought I could.

In regard to the h5/g5 choice I made, which hurts me now, I intended to use the Rook and Bishop to get his g and h pawns, but was unable to do so without letting his a pawn advance.

Would you mind using the clickable link, instead of just the image? I've been going back to my last move to click on the image, and then making both your move and mine. At some point, I'm going to screw that up.

I suppose if you kick my bishop now, it will be stuck on the king-side. I think it will still be useful there.

One of possible positions I saw after you played h5 had my rook on g5, with my pawns on h4 and g3 while yours were still on g6 and h5. The only way for you to attack my position would be to exchange rooks while your king was on f6 or h6, and my rook would be putting pressure on the king-side while supporting the queen-side. That never came about in the actual game.

Everyone in here thinks their game could use an upgrade. :)

6. e3 c5

The normal counter to white's strong center in the King's Indian is e5 but against Bg5, at least in this position, it's not even playable, so I'll try c5 instead. Now we have more of a Benoni structure.

PS. The image should now be clickable. Sorry it took so long for me to get up to speed. For a while there I was happy just to get any kind of board to show itself.

Yep, the image worked well.

I'm see a couple of different directions for this opening to go in. It should be interesting.

I considered Qb6 here attacking the weakened b2 square, a logical move because your black bishop is confined to the kingside, but it also seems a little loose and premature so I'll play Nc6, a more straightforward developing move.
