Adventures with the White Lion

This is my last game with this opening and I will analyse the moves with SF and also tell my thoughts about the moves. A human perspective on a slightly inferior opening but it is only inferior if Black knows how to react... To make clearer I show the main position I am aiming for. In this blog I will mainly focus on the Lion with White after e4-e5 but I have played it against French, Caro, and Sicilians but I like it most after e4-e5...

Here is an example game of a White Lion against the Caro
After 11. Nf1 I am close to the position I aimed for...

Two moves later when I play Ng3 Stockfish finds that Ng5 is better here, I will mention where Stockfish finds better moves but in general Stockfish does not like this opening. If I play it against Stockfish it plays a5 with Black in a lot of occuring positions, in fact Stockfish has showed me that if Whites attack is not quick enough Blacks attack on the Queenside is faster...
Here is an example game on how Black reacts very good to my play and how I ruin my position when the attack fails...

In this last example game I play the move Rg1 where Stockfish says d4 is more accurate... Those are a bit more advanced moves but it does show what can happen

From here on I will follow up with an logical move order to get to what I call the White Lion. I will start from e4-e5 and try to explain and show the differences between the variations, I will use Stockfish analysis also but not to often. I foremost want to show the human perspective...
