1. a3
|
First move for the Anderssen Opening. |

|
|
|
1... d5 2. d4
|
I went for the center to try and gain center control. |

|
|
|
2... Nc6 3. Nf3
|
Reinforced my control of the center, protecting my pawn. |

|
|
|
3... Bg4 4. Nbd2
|
Moved my knight here because I am guessing he is going to try and take my knight on f3, so instead of moving a pawn and giving more advantage to him with gaps in my pawn structure, I set my knight on d2 to protect it. |

|
|
|
4... Bxf3 5. Nxf3
|
I was right, he took my knight, so I take his. :) |

|
|
|
5... Nf6 6. e3
|
Reinforcing the center once more. |

|
|
|
6... a6 7. c4
|
I am challenging his control on the center, hoping he takes my pawn and lets me take center. |

|
|
|
7... e6 8. Qc2
|
Instead he reinforces his pawn, so I reinforce mine with the queen. |

|
|
|
8... Ne4 9. Bd3
|
This is a good move I noticed afterward. Not only does this piece reinforce c4, it challenges his knight on e4. |

|
|
|
9... f5 10. b4
|
Not sure what I was doing here, but I feel like I was giving myself some room to breathe in my defense and reclaiming more tiles. |

|
|
|
10... Be7 11. O-O
|
Castled. |

|
|
|
11... O-O 12. Bb2
|
Protecting d4. |

|
|
|
12... Bf6 13. Rfc1
|
Protecting the queen just in case. :) |

|
|
|
13... Rc8 14. cxd5
|
At this point I went ahead and took his center pawn because he had no idea what was going on, so I am now trying to secure the center. |

|
|
|
14... exd5 15. Bxa6
|
Trying to open some holes for possible future checkmate. (I had enough advantage already I could sacrifice some pieces because I knew he had no idea what to do against this opening.) |

|
|
|
15... bxa6 16. Qxc6
|
I saw a free knight, so I took it. :D |

|
|
|
16... Rf7 17. Ne5
|
Went to challenge his rook. |

|
|
|
17... Bxe5 18. dxe5
|
Again, he wasn't sure what to do, so he instinctively took my knight, so I took his bishop with my pawn. |

|
|
|
18... Nd2 19. Rcd1
|
Again, I have no idea what he was thinking here, so I just kept challenging his pieces and moving in for the kill (checkmate.) |

|
|
|
19... Nb3 20. Rab1
|
He tried to take my rook, so I moved it over. |
