Drawn, but with several interesting moments. | ||||||
|
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 |
The Budapest, my choice for testing. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. dxe5 Ng4 4. e4 |
The "intelligent" answer. First time I face it. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Nxe5 5. f4 Ng6 |
I wasn't afraid of this, but probably it would have been better not to take the pawn. But I don't know enough to feel safe after f4 if I didn't take e5. | |||||

6. Be3 Bb4+ |
Typical. | |||||

|
7. Nd2 |
Good, now the white queen cannot go to d5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Qe7 8. Bd3 |
Nice "hole" in white's position. How to exploit it? d5 and white cannot retake with the e pawn... but unfortunately, he has another on c4. I think b5, to deflect this pawn, must be considered. It opens the big diag for my lsb. I overlooked it during the game. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... O-O 9. Ngf3 d6 |
I didn't want to lose my dsb, but I "had" to open the way for my other minor pieces. b6 would have been fine. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. O-O Bg4 |
My opponent didn't harass my dsb... good, but it will came later. Now, I want him to move his pawns. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. Qc2 |
Neither of my pins is working, now. Welll... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... Nd7 |
I cannot find a way to penetrate, but he has not launched the e5 attack, still. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. h3 Bxf3 13. Nxf3 |
Unavoidable, because I put my knight in d2. But this had a purpose. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13... Bc5 |
To preserve my pawn chains, depriving him of his bishop's pair, that can be a very powerful weapon. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. Rae1 |
White overlooked the obvious | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14... Bxe3+ 15. Rxe3 Nxf4 |
losing a very important pawn. Now I will exchange his other bishop, and white's attacking chances will almost vanish. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16. Nd4 Nxd3 17. Qxd3 Ne5 |
And this extra tempo, even better. I didn't play Nc5 because it can be easily kicked there with b4. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18. Qe2 g6 |
To prevent Nf5, or Qh5. It looks weird but, hey, he has not a dsb. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
19. b3 |
Solidifying. I have a pawn, but it looks difficult to get a victory. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
19... a6 |
Planning the only expansion I can possibly have: b5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
20. Nc2 b5 |
It was a mistake. I should have prepared it properly, with Qd7 or something. The basic idea is if cxb, winning the exchange, Rxa2 compensates. But it was too quick a calculation. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
21. Nb4 c6 |
To avoid Nd5. Tension is quickly increasing again! | |||||
