where's my chess pals?
i still suck.
i play stockfish lvl 3 and either 2 things always happen
A)stockfish's queen comes out the 3rd move and i get wrecked
B)stockfish wastes a bunch of time dicking around and i manage to make it to the middlegame without blundering, then i resign when i run out of ideas
pic related is the position i resigned in playing as black, computer says it is -2.2
what should i be doing here?
Hard to say not playing, wanna play with me?

this is such a boring position i think i would've traded knights on e3 just to shake things up.
but i'm a mediocre player at best.
>>39523783
stop resigning just because you don't have ideas. the only time you should resign is if the position is completely lost, although if you have a problem with resigning early maybe just practice by never resigning

is there anything wrong with playing f6 and opening up the king side?
>>39523979
My original idea was to attack F2 which is why my knight up there on g4.
I was going to mobilize my queen but then I realize I didn't have enough firepower to attack F2 successfully.
But maybe there's some other way to do it?
The problem I think with F6 is that it shuts in the queen.

don't put your horse on the edge
What do la?
inb4 your comment is not original heil /r9k/ mods *bellamy salutes*

bishop to d7 looks interesting to me instead of the move you played. if white takes with queen he gets forked and if he tries to reclaim knight he gets fucked, so black is winning. so has to take with knight or king. if knight takes back you still have threats and after the exchanges pretty sure black is winning. it looks like a good position for black to me senpai seriously dont resign

He ended up there on the edge because earlier stockfish was trying some funny business with its queen on B3 and that square was the only way I could attack it.
But I guess maybe that's what it wanted me to do.

Sorry I meant to type f5
>>39524082
id push the c pawn
>>39523783
1400 elo on lichess here, so average player i guess.
its a boring position, id move the queen to d7 just to connect the rooks. And then f5. Or f5 before moving the queen
>>39524082
i dont like how the knight only has 1 square to go to, so id consider moving it. Or pushing c pawn or getting rooks involved
