Here's a game I played in the first round of the Casual section in the 35th Tournament. I already had four points, and my opponent had two wins and no losses. So this game decided who passed to the next round, and it has a lot of pressure. I started with this common move. | ||||

The French Defense. It requires a long and precise defense... If Black doesn't play accurately, White will soon have the initiative. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. d4 |
White tries to claim the center. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... a5 |
?? A bad move and an outright loss of tempo. Blunder. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nf3 h6 |
? A prophilactic move,since it prevents Ng5, but with no sense of opportunity. Black should develop his pieces first. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Bc4 |
(?) The " Italian" development of the Bishop. I later realized this was a bad square for the clerk. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... d5 |
! White necessarily loses tempo. This opening principle is valid in this situation : one should develop Knights before Bishops. This move would have lost his power with Nc3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. exd5 exd5 6. Bd3 f6 |
? A move that weakens Black's Kingside and stops ... 0-0 . | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. O-O |
Natural. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Nc6 8. Re1+ Nge7 |
The Knight is now pinned. | ||||

|
9. Bb5 |
Another piece gets pinned. | ||||

White doesn't want a minority attack on his rock. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... g6 12. Nh4 |
Notice that this move is possible because Black's Kingside is full of holes. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Bg7 |
?? It would have been better Rg8, to defend the g-pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Nxg6 |
The multiple pins start to pay off, because Black can't capture with ... Nxg6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Rh7 14. Nxe7 |
!! A grand move. The second pin pays dividends, because Black can't recapture the Knight with his own Knight and won't trade his Queen for the Rook and the Knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bd7 15. Nc8+ |
!! the move that forces the Queen to be traded for one Rook. | ||||
| | |||||

15... Qe6 16. Rxe6+ Bxe6 17. Qe2 Rxc8 18. Qxe6+ |
