1. e4 |
This was an interesting game with an interesting ending. Started it off with the King's pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... Nc6 |
I don't think that I had seen anyone try this before. I now realize that it isn't exactly rare, but it was my first time encountering it. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. Bb5 |
I decide to harass his knight. I figure he wasn't expecting this, so it would throw him off his game. | |||||

|
2... Nf6 |
He proceeds to ignore my bishop and attack the pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Bxc6 |
I go for some early trading. He can't ignore this move, seeing as I just protected my pawn. | |||||

3... dxc6 |
He takes my bishop while keeping his pawn structure intact. | |||||

4. e5 |
I naturally harass his other knight. This is possibly the most aggressive I've ever played in the first few moves. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Ng4 |
He saves his knight and attacks my pawn at the same time. Solid move. | |||||

5. d4 |
I go to protect my pawn. I putting my central pawns out there, which is why I didn't play Nf3. | |||||

5... e6 |
This move was a mistake. While it does open up the diagonals for his queen and bishop, he unprotects his knight, which is his only developed piece at this point. | |||||

6. Qxg4 |
I take the knight. There's no way I'm passing up this chance to take a solid material advantage this early in the game, even if it does leave my queen in pretty open space. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... f5 |
He harasses my queen, likely hoping to force my queen back. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. exf6 e.p. |
En passant! I'm not sure if he was aware of that rule on his previous move, but it was nice for me either way. | |||||

7... Qxf6 |
He takes my unprotected pawn and gets his queen involved in a solid position. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Bg5 |
Harassing his queen. Notice a pattern emerging here? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Qf7 |
Saves his queen, but hinders his movement for the next few moves. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Nf3 |
Getting my knight involved in the action and setting myself up for a castle. | |||||

9... e5 |
This was a very good move. He attacks my pawn and queen simultaneously, and opens up the diagonals for his queen and white bishop. If I hadn't noticed the attack on my queen, I would've been doomed. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Nxe5 |
I did notice the bishop, but I thought that he would go to protect his queen before attacking mine. I figured that I could put my knight into a nice attacking position and try to pin him on his back few ranks, but it didn't quite work like that. In retrospect, I probably should have played Qe4. | |||||

10... Bxg4 |
He takes my queen. When I came back to this game 3 days after I had made the previous move, I had to stop and remember what I was thinking, because the last move seemed incredibly stupid. This move also takes away any real opportunity for a queen side castle. | |||||
