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.
