Here is a game played by the evergreen world champion Alexander Alekhine against Freman | |
|
1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 |
Danish Gambit |
| | |
|
3... d5 |
This is called Soerensen defence |
| | |
|
4. exd5 Qxd5 5. cxd4 Bb4+ 6. Nc3 Nc6 7. Nf3 Nf6 8. Be2 |
White prepares to castle |
| | |
|
8... O-O 9. O-O Bxc3 |
Better 8. ..... Ne4 and if 9. Bd2 then .... Bxc3 10. bc Nxd2 11. Qxd2 O-O with equal chances (according ti my book) |
| | |
|
10. bxc3 b6 |
Black shows its intentions of placing its bishop on b7 |
| | |
|
11. c4 Qd8 |
The queen is forced to move back |
| | |
|
12. d5 |
And thus white establishes the center |
| | |
|
12... Ne7 13. Nd4 Bb7 |
Maybe Black wanted Alekhine to take the center. We will never know |
| | |
|
14. Bb2 |
A sharp continuation but Bf3 seems better (according to the book) |
| | |
|
14... c6 15. Bf3 cxd5 16. Re1 |
The pawn is pinned |
| | |
|
16... Re8 17. Qd2 Rb8 |
Black wants to unpin the pawn |
| | |
|
18. Qg5 |
With a sudden threat 19 Ne6! fe 20 Bxf6 Rxe6 |
| | |
|
18... Ng6 19. Nf5 Rxe1+ 20. Rxe1 dxc4 |
This leads to an effective finale but black's position is anyway unsatisfactory |
| | |
|
21. Bxb7 Rxb7 22. Bxf6 Qxf6 |
White announced mate in 4 moves |
| | |
|
23. Re8+ Nf8 24. Nh6+ Qxh6 25. Rxf8+ Kxf8 26. Qd8# |
Check and mate |
