1. e4 |
This game was from the 41st Gk tournament. I was already through, but if my opponent beat me then he would qualify also. In this game my opponent did'nt blunder but made some weak moves and was outplayed | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c5 2. Nf3 d6 |
The dragon is an opening i'm trying to learn so as to play it in competative play | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nc3 Nc6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Nf6 6. Bc4 g6 7. O-O |
The first move that suggests that my opponent doesn't want to play a main line dragon | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Bg7 8. Nxc6 bxc6 |
An interesting position. White has better development but black has a solid position | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. h3 |
weak, as if 9. Be3 had been played then f3 was fine. Anyway, the bishop is better on b7 | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... O-O 10. Re1 Qc7 |
e5 is a real threat, as it will rip apart my pawn structure | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Bf4 e5 |
e5 must not be allowed. Although it seems unnatural to block in the bishop in, e5 is best and there aren't any tactics on c3 | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Bg5 Nd7 |
Ugly. Be7 would of won a pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Qd2 |
luckily he didn't spot it | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nb6 14. Bb3 |
over the next few moves my opponents starts a speculative attack on the king side which doesn't get him anywhere except into trouble | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Re8 15. Bh6 Bh8 16. Re3 Be6 |
It is necessary to swap of the bishops. Sicilian players take note: it is very easy to fall foul of combinations reliant on the pinned f7 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Rf3 |
consenting to the doubling of the pawns. This is not wise, as it gives black an advantage in the ending | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Bxb3 18. cxb3 |
This was the wrong way to take, as I now have a very strong central pawn roller | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Rad8 19. Qg5 d5 |
Time to get the ball rolling while my opponent fruitlessly tries to attack on the kingside | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. exd5 cxd5 21. Rc1 |
One move cheapo's very rarely work | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Qd7 22. a4 |
Bad, as the knight isn't doing a lot on b6, White has effectively lost a tempo | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... e4 23. Rf6 |
ugly, as it allows me to swap of queens. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Qe7 24. Rf5 Qxg5 25. Rxg5 f5 |
White's rook and bishop are so bad they are effectively useless | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Re1 Be5 |
This move deserves an exclamation mark. White might as well play without his rook on g5 and his bishop on h6 | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Ne2 d4 |
the pawns are coming and they ain't gonna stop | ||||
