Giving up the precious fianchetto bishop in the Reti Slav • page 1/1 • Game Analysis • lichess.org

High-end chunk coming up which I‘d like to share.

After ...Qb6, Qxb6 is playable and ok, but not that great if Black plays correctly. After ...Nbd7, it is, even though Black has one more option^^ You also give up the precious fianchetto bishop (sic!). Since the game has 99% accuracy and ACPL 4, that must be right :D

The random game is, however, not that important. The idea matters IMHO.

P.S.: In my otb league, I played “normally” against a GM after ...Nbd7, just as I would after ...e6, but after ...e5, the game took on a life of its own. I was doing okay at first, but then things went downhill.

You seem to be playing as White according to the imported PGN.
