The midgame have started and it was now Carrion's turn.
He used his d5 pawn to take the pawn on c4. Allen retaliated by using his bishop to take Carrion's pawn on c4. In summary, it was an equal trade.
Carrion pushed his pawn to e5 while Allen responded by moving his bishop to b3. Carrion moved his queen to e7 while Allen moved his bishop to d2.
"Sigh, this is quite boring. We are only developing pieces and there isn't any aggressive gameplay since both of us are playing passive."
Carrion couldn't help but comment about how boring the chess game was as he moved his pawn to a5.
"We can't do anything about that yet as the two of us are building a foundation for the endgame."
Allen replied to Carrion's comment while moving his pawn to a4.
Deciding to start being aggressive, Carrion moved his bishop to b4, threatening to take the knight on c3.
Allen ignored the threat since his knight on c3 was defended by both his bishop and queen so he just ignored it by moving his rook to e1.
Carrion didn't forget to kick out Allen's knight on f3 by pushing his pawn to the e4 square.
Low ELO-rated players would forget that their knight was hanging and would blunder it on the next move but Allen had the <Supreme Chess Grandmaster> talent so it was impossible to blunder his pieces.
Allen moved his g5 to not only avoid the attack from an enemy piece but to also threaten to win material since the knight on g5 was threatening to take the pawn on e4.
Although the pawn on e4 was defended by two pieces, Allen had more pieces that were attacking the e4 pawn so, after all the trades, Allen would win more material. That was why it was the best move Allen could make and also a move that threatened to win material.
Carrion clearly saw Allen's intention of winning material so with no hesitation, Carrion took the knight on c3 using his bishop, removing one of the attackers on the e4 pawn. Allen retaliated by taking the bishop with his pawn as he moved his pawn to take the bishop on c3.
It was the best move that Allen could have ever made since if he had taken with either the queen or bishop, it wasn't an inaccuracy but it wasn't the best move. Taking with the pawn allowed Allen to connect his pawns and defend his pawn that was at the d4 square.
In chess, it was common sense to take the center and that was why most openings focused on taking or occupying the center. And currently, Allen has a positional advantage over Carrion as his pieces were dominating the center.
Carrion couldn't do much about Allen's positional advantage since Allen had a good start in the opening as Allen focused more on having a flexible and dynamic opening rather than an aggressive one.
But at least, Carrion didn't have any ugly pawn stacks since his position might not be as good as Allen's but it was decent. And as for Allen, he has a strong pawn structure since his pawns were connected.
With that thought in his mind, Carrion moved his pawn to h6 to kick out Allen's knight. Allen pulled back his knight to the h3 square since he didn't want to blunder one of his pieces.
In turn, Carrion slid his rook to the d8 square. Allen responded by taking the center using his knight as he placed it on the f4 square.
After Allen placed his knight on the f4 square, Carrion attacked Allen's pawn by pushing his pawn to the b5 square as he moved two squares forward.
Allen ignored Carrion's attack as he slid his rook to the b1 square.
"You keep on neglecting your knight."
"Nah, more like you keep on kicking it out from its spot."
Allen replied to Carrion's comment. Carrion only shrugged off Allen's reply as he pushed his pawn two squares forward on the g5 square, kicking out Allen's knight.
Taking notice of that, Allen moved his knight backward on the e2 square.
"Your knight is quite the passive piece. It's your most kicked-out piece in our entire match."
"I have other plans for it. It will show its full potential in the endgame."
"If you can still survive till the endgame, that is."
After commenting on Allen's knight and receiving a reply from Allen, he taunted Allen while moving his knight to the b6 square.
"Are you talking about yourself? From what I have analyzed, I have always kept the advantage from the start of the game even until now. You never stood a chance against me except for our first game where I intentionally blundered my queen."
Allen wasn't planning to be passive as he retorted back to Carrion while maneuvering his knight to the g3 square. As Allen has said before, he had plans for his knight and he wouldn't give up on it.
Carrion only snorted at Allen as he ignored his words. He went full aggressive mode as he placed his knight on the c4 square, threatening to take Allen's bishop that was defended by the queen.
Since his bishop was defended, Allen ignored it as it wasn't a threat as he proceeded to take the pawn on b5 using his a4 pawn.
Since Allen didn't want his bishop anymore, Carrion took it using his knight as he placed the knight on the d2 square.
"Are you sure you want to trade my inactive bishop for your active knight? That's an unfair trade for you from a positional standpoint and not from a material standpoint."
Allen asked Carrion as he took the unguarded knight on d2 using his queen.
"I know what I am doing. Although I didn't have an advantage against you since the start of the game, it only meant that you are an excellent chess player. After all, none had ever defeated me in a game of chess."
After answering Allen's question, Carrion took Allen's b5 pawn using his c6 pawn.
"If none had ever defeated you, then I, the <Supreme Hidden Boss>, shall show you an utter defeat!"
