1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 h6 |
Black normally waits until around move 9 before playing this, but it probably doesn't make any difference. |
| | |
|
5. Bxf6 |
Nothing wrong with this, but I would prefer Bh4, hoping to entice Black into playing ...g5 and weakening his kingside. |
| | |
|
5... gxf6 |
Interesting! The only reason Black would play this is to get an open file for an attack on White's king. But since he has no pieces developed, White needn't worry for a while! |
| | |
|
6. cxd5 |
Good - further weakens Black's pawn structure. |
| | |
|
6... exd5 7. Qb3 |
I think developing the kingside is a higher priority. I'm also not convinced this is the best square for the queen. |
| | |
|
7... c6 8. e4 |
A little too bold! White should get his king to safety before opening the centre. |
| | |
|
8... Qe7 |
Developing a piece with a threat is always good. |
| | |
|
9. Bd3 |
9.Qc2 was the only move. |
| | |
|
9... Be6 |
Black should take the pawn. If White recaptures, Black wins a piece by ...f5. |
| | |
|
10. Qc2 Nd7 11. Nge2 h5 12. O-O |
The king was safe enough on e1. 12.exd5 cxd5 13.Nb5 wins at least a pawn. |
| | |
|
12... Bh6 13. exd5 |
Opening the e-file must be good for White. |
| | |
|
13... cxd5 14. Rfe1 O-O |
Probably better than leaving it on the open file. |
| | |
|
15. Ng3 f5 |
There was no good move here. |
| | |
|
16. Nxf5 |
16.Nxd5 and 16.Bxf5 are even stronger. |
| | |
|
16... Qg5 17. Nxh6+ Qxh6 18. Bf5 Bxf5 19. Qxf5 Nf6 20. Nxd5 Nxd5 21. Qxd5 b6 22. Re5 Kg7 23. Rxh5 |
