Tolle vs. Arquilla, Round 3
My third crack at the NPS Chess Club Godfather, Prof. Arquilla, resulted in "Death by Caro-Kann (ECO B12--Caro-Kann, Advance Variation). Result=Tolle sleeps wit da fishes.
7. h3 gave my opponent a free pawn. Such freebies tend to haunt you in the end game, usually in the form of a renegade pawn racing to the back rank on the King side supported by a couple of rook goons. Also, 20. ...Ne3 proved to be an lasting thorn in my flesh until an ignomious concession before move 40. (The game actually lasted a few more moves than what is posted, but you don't have to drink the whole gallon to know that the milk is sour. Bleechh...)
I'll be better prepared for the next Caro-Kann!
