Wait Armin , I ' ve got a better idea for the AoT anime episode 11 ~~ Idol ~~<| sep |> Random people on the street screaming douchebag towards me . does that count ? <| sep |> I think you mean g 7 . Yes , you want your bishop attacking g 7 for sure , but you aren ' t going to get it for free very often like that . You are basically playing your opponents possible blunder , which is a mistake regardless of what stockfish says about the specific move . You won ' t see your opponent hang the g 7 pawn , like that , in slower time controls . You are still attacking g 7 even when you block with your knight . Once you are castled , you reveal the attack with a simple knight move , or you regain the attack after trading Bishop for Knight . Kf 1 isn ' t even close to keeping your tempo . It is the exact opposite . It is a passive move , that allows your opponent to develop for free . This wastes one of the , already dubious , sacrificed pawns allowing your opponent to develop while endangering your king . The entire point of the DG is to develop your pieces in an all out attack while restricting your opponent from developing . With Kf 1 you not only do not develop your knight , you also allow your opponent to develop . Sure this doesn ' t look bad in stockfish , but you aren ' t stockfish looking 25 moves ahead with perfect defense . You need all the offensive power you have at your disposal .
