Hello everyone, this is a game where I have been able, for the first time, to checkmate my opponent on the first row. King' pawn opening | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 |
Petrov defence. I always found that taking the pawn result in a good position for white | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. d4 |
Taking space in the center. No need to drive his knight just yet. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... d5 6. Bd3 |
Putting a little pressure on the knight and opening up for castling. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Bf5 7. O-O Bd6 8. c4 |
With that move I aim to weaken the knight. If he grabs my c pawn, then 9. Bxe4, Bxe4, 10. Re1 pinning his bishop and resulting in an unconfortable position for black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... c6 |
Wisely reinforcing his d pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Qc2 |
More pressure on the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... O-O 10. Nc3 Re8 |
Finally a second defender. He's also taking the open file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Re1 |
Same for me. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bb4 |
Now that was a move that had me thinking for a while. Finally arrived at the conclusion that the exchange would be at my advantage after the exchange of my C pawn with his D pawn, resulting in an isolated pawn for black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Bf4 |
Activating the piece. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Na6 |
I have absolutely no clue as to why he did that move. Nd7 would have made more sense, even though that would have had weakened the defense of d5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. cxd5 |
Finally decided to open up the game a bit (I always have been aggressive). | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... cxd5 14. Ne5 f6 |
I think Bd6 would have been better. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nf3 |
Back where I started but now his king's position is weakened. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Rc8 |
Picking another open file and pinnig my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bd2 |
Going back to defend. He now has a strong attack on my queen side, where I have been a little careless. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Qb6 |
More pressure on the queen side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. a3 |
Trying to force the exchange right away and diffuse the tension. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Kh8 |
Strong move. Hiding his king and going up a pawn after axb4. | ||||
