Mini 686 - Chess Mafia (Done)

[Lawrencelot]

Willing to change back to Qe2. Heck, I'll do it now.

unmove, move: Qe2

[Gorrad]

Where do you expect black to move if we choose to play defensive and castle? How are we going to stop them from moving there?

I'm not answering that yet for what should be obvious reasons.

[SensFan]

No one had brought up castling, so I figured it should be on the table. I have a follow-up, but it's defensive. And yes, I think it might, as I'm quite wary of the black queen's ability to check us.

Oh, right. Because its not like 6. Qe2+ stops them from checking us...

[Gorrad]

By doing a trade I dislike.

You should be able to tell us where black is going to move after your preferred move is played. Only scum would be at a loss in revealing this info. That's about as scummy as you can get in this game, but be happy that lynching you will only cause white to lose out on good players.

I get the sense that we should prefer black plays 6. ... Qe7, but I am content seeing that we have options for 6. ... Be7 as well.

Gorrad as scum wouldn't want to play Qe7 since he doesn't like losing his queen. Black playing defensively would play Be7, if they want to be aggressive, then it's Qe7. Nd5 is still the followup answer. We force them to trade on our side of the board or lose their queen for a knight in that case.

[Gorrad]

No. I don't want to give them ideas.

[SensFan]

By doing a trade I dislike.

Oh, right, sorry. Forgot that darn rule that if neither player has a Queen, the game ends in a draw, since its impossible to checkmate your opponent without a Queen...

[Pesco47]

No. I don't want to give them ideas.

You don't want to give white ideas either with that kind of response.

"Well if he moved, doesn't that mean I should too?" the black knight proclaimed, clearly unsure of the rules of chess.
