1. e4 |
Black plays the opening poorly and it is clear that white has an advantage. eventually white wins a pawn but black gets an open g file toward the white king which ultimately proves decisive when white continues his attack with a natural but very weak move. i hope you enjoy. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c5 |
i don't usually play the sicilian, but i fancied something different. my usual against e4 is Alekhines defence | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. c3 |
the c3 sicilian, i really have no idea how to play against this. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 4. d4 |
now the position is looking quite Alekhines defence like but with the black c pawn on c5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... cxd4 5. cxd4 |
apparently Nf3 is more accurate here as the d pawn is pinned to the knight on d5, but i think it would just transpose to the game next move anyway | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... d6 |
i've let white build a centre so now i've got to attack it before his pieces can orginise themselves to defend it | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Nf3 Nc6 7. Bc4 Nb6 |
i didn't like the look of 7...e6 as it give white alot of ways to hurt my pawn structure which i'd have to keep an eye on | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bb5 a6 |
i think the exchange on c6 improves my pawn structure here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Bxc6+ bxc6 10. O-O |
i think whites position is better here, he has a space advantage and a slight lead in development, but black has a definate target to aim at - the white centre | ||||

|
10... Bf5 |
this is a strong diagonal for the bishop as it controls some good squares deep in enemy territory and white has no light square bishop to oppose it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Nh4 |
so he forces it to move | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bd7 |
although the bishop is now not as active the white knight is off side on h4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Nc3 Nd5 |
maybe trying to activate the dark square bishop via g7 would be a better plan | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. exd6 |
if 13.Nxd5 cxd5 14.exd6 e6! and blacks pawn structure is very nice and the d6 pawn will be won soon | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nxc3 |
13...e6 is an interesting alternative but it looks like it is met well with 14.Qg4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. bxc3 exd6 15. Re1+ Be6 |
the natural 15...Be7? loses to 16.Bg5! Be6 (16...f3? 17.Qh5 ) 17.Bxe7 Kxe7(17...Qxe7? 18.Nf5 Qf8 19.Qa4! Kd7 20.d5! is a massacre) 18.d5 cxd5 19.Qxd5 looks very good for white | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Nf5 |
this is a rather annoying move that seems to tie down the black army. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Kd7 |
this seemed the best way to side step the threats, 16...g6 17.Nh6 is strong, keeping the black king in the centre | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Ne3 |
here i completely missed the point and ended up paying for it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Be7 |
? not a good move, ...d5 was required here preventing d5 from white | ||||
