What Do You Wanna Do As White In These Games?

Here's A 2 Games, What Move Do You Wanna Do As White?

1,c3

2.O-O

Game 1. Bxc6 or nxc6. The knight needs to go. With openings with bb5 you generally want to take the knight as soon as they bring out a6.

Game 2. There are no threats so just keep developing. d3, bd2, 0-0. For game 1, after taking care of the knight, develop your queenside.

Game 1: Don't hang a knight on turn 5.
Game 2: Don't hang a bishop on turn 5.

Just work on not throwing away your pieces for now.

Mnemex, bb5 is a book move for some good openings like the Ruy Lopez, the Spanish Game, and some others. The bishop is undefended, but taking the knight is an equal trade that requires black to double pawns, giving white a positional advantage. The mistake was in not taking the knight in game 1, leaving no option but to take it later with the bishop, wasting the move where the bishop retreated to temporary safety.

Both games are very suspicious.

In game 1, white throws away a knight with 5. Nxe5, and black ignores it, and white offers the knight again, and black ignores it again...

In game 2, black attacks the bishop, and white ignores it, and black makes another random move instead of winning a piece.

Whoever played these games should be more concerned about pieces and less concerned about plans.

"What do you want to as white"

Checkmate black.

BB5 is a fine move. But in this case, it immediately preceeds white offering a free knight which black then declines for no apparent reason. Twice.

Similarly, in game 2, on white's 5th move, they respond to a pawn kicking their bishop with..."supporting" the bishop with a pawn, which is no support at all (particulary in context, where taking a trade that way would hang a rook as well as the bishop).

The shape of the moves is fine, but the substance and intent is lacking -- it feels like very bad...or chatgpt, chess.

read my blogs if u like chat gpt

Looking at just the positions (and ignoring hanging pieces, etc), I'd play:

1. Bxc6. Intuitively prefer it very slightly to Nxc6.

2. Nxe5. A good argument could be made for just developing, but I'd have a hard time turning down the free pawn given that the obvious responses for driving off my knight aren't that efficient for black's development.

1 Bc3 and 2 Ne3

Game 1: 5.c3 (This fits perfectly into whites typical plans in the Ruy Lopez of working towards a d4 push. After 4...Bb4, black is playing a move down).

Game 2: 5.Bxc6 dxc6 6.Nxe5 (The position that follows will be likely similar to what happens in the game without risking hanging a bishop for free).
