Gallagher Variation II

Well, now this game is a little more discouraging regarding Qe7!  Perhaps you had to try Bf8 instead of Ne5, but it is tough in any case. I am liking the Paragua plan of Nc5-e6 by comparison -- at least you get no pawn weaknesses. I just do not like having that backward d-pawn unless I am definitely getting play on the queenside in return. Thanks so much for sharing these games!

Very nice game! Your Capablanca series is excellent and I am excited for the next game.

Nice game!

Exchange sacrifices that create a protected passed pawn if taken are quite common.

Agreed, but still to find them and I think my opponent played well here.
