...English opening..normally this allows White to build up a positional attack on the queen side. Also, it gives White a chance to suss out what Black intends from the opening as the practical replies are limited. |

|
|
|
1... g6
|
...this implies black is heading for a Kings indian or Pirc/ Modern defense..I have a pet reply for these openings in Blitz play...so why not test it in long play..(it has worked there too...) |

|
|
|
2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. e4 Nf6
|
....main moves of a KID..developing as normal. Black will look to play 0-0, e5,Ne8 and F5...with other developing moves..... |

|
|
|
5. Be2 O-O
|
..all according to plan so far....except....when you see the next move... |

|
|
|
6. g4
|
....it works in Blitz as players mechanically expect Nf3, Be3 etc...the actual aim is to interfere with Blacks plan of f5 and developing the K side. The g4 move disrupts the arrangement....Whites plan will be to 0-0-0 and have rooks on g,h with support of dangerous knights lurking.... |

|
|
|
6... Nfd7 7. h4
|
...supporting the attack...white plans Be3, Qd2 and 0-0-0... |

|
|
|
7... e6
|
...looking to support f5 advance i thought...but look at the development on the Q side of Black and whites pieces... |

|
|
|
8. Be3 e5 9. Qd2
|
...i want to eliminate the black bishop which is a key defender / attacker for black....next few moves force this off and help the h5 advance to follow.... |

|
|
|
9... exd4 10. Bxd4 Bxd4 11. Qxd4 Nc6 12. Qe3 Nde5 13. O-O-O
|
...except for the Nf1, White is all developed and almost ready to chuck pain onto the K side.... |

|
|
|
13... Nxg4 14. Qg3
|
...pawn sac is fine here i thought....with h5 following, i can win a piece with the K on g8 if ...Nf6 h5, Nxh5 Bxh5 as the pawn is pinned.. |

|
|
|
14... Nf6 15. h5 Kh8
|
...avoiding the pin...time to attack .... |

|
|
|
16. hxg6 fxg6 17. Qxg6
|
...pawn is pinned...and material is now even...White has a very strong attack here and pieces ready to come in quickly....Black is effecgtively 2 pieces down on the queen side... |

|
|
|
17... Rg8 18. Qh6 Qe7 19. Nd5 Nxd5 20. exd5
|
...leaving the bishop en pris..You never know !! (Qxe2??, Qxh7# ) |

20... Ne5 21. f4
|
..maybe this was pre-mature....bringing the Queen back was another option (Qd2 then f4).... |

|
|
|
21... Ng6
|
...Nf7 better here.... |

|
|
|
22. Bd3 Nf8 23. Nf3
|
...all pieces for white about to meander in a kick butt.... |

|
|
|
23... Qg7 24. Qh4
|
...planning Ng5, Rdg1...huge pressure on the king...can't recover... |

|
|
|
24... Qf7 25. Ng5 Rxg5
|
...forced.... |

|
|
|
26. Qxg5 Qg7 27. Qd8
|
....Black resigns...heavy losses are inevitable here. only move is Bf5...
Qxa8, Bxd3, Rxd3...and Black has to defend against the pin on the knight and will lose Queen for Rook & bishop & the position is quickly doomed with Rd3 coming into play very quickly... |
