The most popular move on the move 5 poll was ...Nc6. Stockfish played 6. Ndb5, and the FEN is:

I would suggest to move the bishop or the queen, but hey, i'm not a good player.

There are no good queen moves we can do. Qc7 we lose the queen, Qe7 we lose the rook (and he destroys our castling too, very bad!). Qb6 we just give him two moves for free, because after Be3 we need to put it back (to keep the control of Nc7+) or on a5, and lose a move and half (he has the sente now). We may do Qa5 now, but white still has a lot of attack there, like Bf4, etc. Actually, after Qa5 Bd2, we have to put it back to d8. If we move something else after Bd2, white has an extremely strong attach with Nd5, bishop attacks queen in a5, and after we move the queen or put our bishop in front at b4, he has Nbc7+ and rook is gone as well as the game. I don't think that any queen move is good now, and I don't even need any engine for it.
6..Bb4 looks good for us, I would play it without thinking, in a face to face game. The database indicates 6...d6 as the best move now, by far, and I do not exactly understand why. We need a deeper analysis here. With the engine too, of course. edit: what your engines say? Time to start them? Last fiddled with by LaurV on 2016-10-09 at 15:08 |

But 6...Bb4 leads to us exchanging our bishop that is less blocked in for one of their knights. Conventional wisdom suggests that is a bad move. The databases agree.

maybe because d6 allow more movement for the king?
it doesn't look like a defensive nor offensive move. |

After looking at some games it appears to me that 6...d6 prolongs the middle game with the prospect of getting a more favorable endgame. It appears the SF is a netter tactical player than a positional player and with that in mind 6...d6 would be the better of the two moves proposed.

Since stockfish has placed his knight on b5 which is one move away from d6, I would prefer to stop stockfish from doing Nd6+ next turn. |
