1. e4 
 | 
here i began another game in high hopes and an aim to win | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... b6 
 | 
but i also wanted to do something different to my usual e4, so i decided to try and play something like the 'modern' opening |

2. Nc3 
 | 
still playing the developing moves | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2... e6 
 | 
here i am, only moving my pawns to the 6th row! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3. Bc4 
 | 
white played the very common Bc4 |

3... Nf6 
 | 
but now it is time for other pieces apart from pawns to advance | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
4. d3 
 | 
but white prefers pawns |

5... exd5 
 | 
not going to stay a pawn down | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
6. Qe2+ 
 | 
white wants an early check to keep this game rolling | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
6... Be7 
 | 
probably my best option apart from Be6 |

7... c6 
 | 
i play my pawn pushing again | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
8. Ba4 
 | 
that has forced that all to powerful bishop back where it belongs (somewhere useless) |

9. Nf3 
 | 
still developing | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
9... Re8 
 | 
now i am in the hope of getting that queen which could mean trouble for white, unless it does something about it soon! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10. Be3 
 | 
ah- he blocks! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10... Bc5 
 | 
but that wasn't that good a move after all |
