1. e4 |
one of the most interesting games i've played, it explodes into life on move 15... from then on it's crazy... | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c5 |
sicilian... we all know this opening.... | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nf3 |
go through the motions... | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. c3 |
my preferred line... i get bored on regular sicilian, and slip into casual mode... this makes things a little more open for me if he accepts the gambit... | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... d3 |
declined... and i hate it when i'm forced to develop my bishop to d3 instead of c4... | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Bxd3 Nf6 6. O-O Nc6 7. h3 e6 8. Qe2 Be7 9. Rd1 |
excellent... rook on d file before he's castled... | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... O-O 10. e5 |
and the attack begins... i always look to play e5 as early as possible, especially if i have succeded in getting my rook onto the d file before black has castled... | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Nd5 11. exd6 |
! | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bf6 |
indeed... 11... Bxd6? 12. Bxh7 ! Kh8 (not Kxh7 or Ng5 gets messy) 13. c4 and the knight or bishop falls, reclaiming the material, and his kingside penetrated... or if 11... Qxd6? 12. c4 and the knight is pinned to the queen since the bishop can move with check... my opponent left a message with this move which said something like "VERY reluctant move..." | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. c4 Ndb4 13. Be4 Bd7 14. a3 Na6 |
and here we are... move 15... if anyone correctly guesses my move, then i will be impressed... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. b4 |
!? i have absolutely no idea if this move really is as sound as it turned out to be for me... it was a mistake, i hadn't noticed the pawn was pinned, i'm not going to pretend it was all a trap... but from here on it's an all out assault... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Bxa1 |
black gleefully accepts the mistake | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bxh7+ |
! not as good a move as i first thought, but still sound... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Kh8 |
16... Kxh7 17. Ng5 Kg6 18. Qg4 and black is in deep trouble... and then if black chose 17... Kg8 18. Qh5 would win queen or mate... note how black's bishop is out of position after taking the rook... had he declined, then Ng5 would not be safe and black would be able to safely claim the aggressive bishop... | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Ng5 |
build up the attack and protect the bishop... | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... g6 |
no surprises, stops me playing Qh5... when i first analysed 16. Bxf7 ! my intention from here was to play 18. Bb2 Bxb2 19. Qxb2 ... but i overlooked 19... e5, which saves for black... i assumed f6 was forced... so i had to abandon ship and find another attack, and quickly...! | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Nxf7+ |
! i was going to lose a piece anyway after f6, so why not sac the piece instead...! | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Rxf7 19. Bxg6 |
and, though i'm still down heavily, his kingside is destroyed, he's about to lose a rook, and there's still the small matter of the knights, just waiting to be attacked... not to mention my awkwardly placed passed pawn... | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Rg7 |
not really much else... moving off the seventh rank would lose... | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Qh5+ Kg8 21. Bh6 |
and there falls the rook | ||||
