1. e4 |
This is what passes for my opening repertoire. Not very original huh? I like this game because although I gave up a large advantage I gained early. I finished with a very pretty forced mate. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nxe5 |
I won't play exd5 because of e4, threatening my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... d4 |
Letting go of the e-file for the sake of an advanced d pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. g3 |
I want to fianchetto my white bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... f6 |
Of course. | ||||

5. Nf3 c5 |
This lets me know he doesn't have any immediate plans to lose another pawn so I might as well release my good bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. d3 b6 |
I'm sure I would pay dearly for delaying development if my opponent weren't also pushing pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. c3 Nc6 8. Bg2 Bd6 9. O-O Nge7 10. cxd4 |
Time to open things up. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... cxd4 11. b3 Ba6 12. Bb2 |
Attack d4 a second time. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Nb4 |
Black almost had a good attack, he should have simply protected the d pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Bxd4 |
And I didn't see what was coming. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Bxd3 |
A rook for a bishop? | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Re1 |
No thanks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Nc2 |
A rook for a bishop and a knight I'll take. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Qxd3 Nxe1 16. Nxe1 |
And I win the exchange (this game helped me recognize the superiority of a bishop and a knight against a rook in many positions) | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bb4 |
Attacking my undefended knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Nc3 |
stops the threat to the knight while releasing my rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... O-O 18. Ne2 |
Get my knight to a more useful square but I missed the fork. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... f5 19. Qc4+ |
Now I see it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Rf7 20. Qxb4 |
And I get a bishop for free. | ||||
