1. e4 |
I was playing as black ... In this short game, I put all my focus on moving my forces to attack whites king | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 |
symmetric reply | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. g3 |
I don't like this move as if the goal is to fianchetto the bishop, the g2-b7 diagonal is already blocked by the e4 pawn | ||||

2... Nf6 |
attacking the e4 pawn thus gaining an early initiative and gaining more of the center | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nc3 |
defending the e4 pawn and developing a piece toward the center | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Bc5 |
developing the dark-squared bishop to an important diagonal ... especially if white castles king-side | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Qf3 |
moving the queen too early in the game ... but maybe, white was afraid of Ng4 thus pressuring the f2 pawn and possibly forking queen and rook | ||||

opening lines to the light-squared bishop | ||||

5... Bxh3 |
first bloodshed in the battle ... I cannot afford to lose the initiative and play passively ... I may have played Nb-d7 but this will give him the initiative | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Nxh3 |
now he has a non-defended knight on edge ... which is not good | ||||

6... Nc6 |
developing another piece | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. O-O |
castling king side ... which is fine for me as I placed the dark-squared bishop on c5 for that reason ... it is now when my plan became more clearer ... and the plan is simple ... 1.castle queen-side 2. attack king-side toward whites king | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Nd4 |
temporarily forking the queen and the c2 pawn ... but most importantly, this move puts my knight on a very attacking place nearer whites king | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Qd3 |
defending the c2 pawn ... notice the queen moved twice till now, while I spent these two moves on a better placement of my forces | ||||

8... Qd7 |
this move helps me both tactically and strategically Tactically: getting the queen off my first rank while preserving the initiative by attacking the lone knight on h3 Strategically: getting nearer to achieve my plan (1. castle queen-side 2. attack king-side toward whites king) | ||||

10... Rdg8 |
sticking to my plan ... moving the rook to g8 to support a pawn thrust toward whites king. note how all my pieces points out to whites king-side. here I realized that I am going to win this match :-) | ||||
