@NickkRagz Because then black does Bd7, then his queen is protecting his rook and his bishop is attacking white's queen, you also weaken your original attack.

@NickkRagz Because Bd7 blocks the check while attacking your queen. You also can't take the rook because it's now protected by the queen.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bc4 g6 7. Nxc6 bxc6 8. e5 Ng4 9. e6 f5!
Where is your initiative?

im pretty new to chess but at around 6 : 30 why wouldnt you just move the queen to c6 to take the rook easily ?
-
5:38. Qc6. Take the Bishop

It gave me a vision to look at this defense !

@NeiltheGriffin -.-' I know I was jesting :)
-
because K is used for king so the knight has to be N because it is the second letter
-
I always wonder why the called it Nf3 or whatever, It is not a night it is a Knight ! ;p

@banjoben1234 I had the exact same thought, although I usually overlook something really simple and stupid.
