1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. Bd2 |
To potentially free up the pinned knight? |
| | |
|
5... Ne7 6. Nb5 Bxd2+ 7. Qxd2 O-O |
Maybe cxd4 would be better to weaken the pawn structure |
| | |
|
8. c3 b6 9. f4 Ba6 10. Nf3 Qd7 11. a4 Nbc6 12. b4 |
Now the c6 knight is choked |
| | |
|
12... cxb4 13. cxb4 Bb7 14. Nd6 f5 15. a5 Nc8 16. Nxb7 Qxb7 17. a6 Qf7 18. Bb5 Nc8e7 19. O-O |
Finally to arm the "gun" |
| | |
|
19... h6 20. Rfc1 Rfc8 21. Rc2 Qe8 22. Rac1 Rab8 23. Qe3 Rc7 24. Rc2c3 Qd7 25. Rc1c2 Kf8 26. Qc1 |
The gun is formed. Black's knight on c6 is under tremendous pressure. |
| | |
|
26... Rbc8 27. Ba4 |
To potentially threaten with the b-file pawn |
| | |
|
27... b5 28. Bxb5 Ke8 29. Ba4 Kd8 30. h4 h5 31. Kh2 g6 32. g3 |
And Black resigned. There are no good moves left; he will lose material. |
