Spoiler:
The reason as to why 13. bxc3 is bad continues to elude me, and will bug me until the end of the game

On Aksdal vs UncleDynamite:

Spoiler:
Not sure why UD thinks 13. bxc3 is the obvious move.

The reasons I think Nxc3 is better are:
  • a2 pawn has a pal beside him for protection still
  • White just forced his opponent to waste a move withdrawing his queen
  • His knight offers more control of the board from c3 than e4 potentially? He already has d6, f6, g5 controlled by his pawns and cannot safely move his knight there anyway.
  • Black's pawn on c5 is the only reason to keep his knight on e4, and that is easily defended by the b pawn if needed.

Either that or he is correct, and we are both missing something

For kibitzers:

Spoiler:
Maybe I'm missing something obvious again, but I don't think pins on the d-file work. So 16. Qe2 was probably a blunder?

Edit: nevermind, they do: 17. Rd1 Nxe3 18. Rxd4 -not that difficult of a variation to find
