1. f4 |
The Birds opening. One I come across once in a while and one that does throw me a little. However I had little to fear this time round. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... d5 |
I decided upon a d5 and fight for the centre... | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nf3 |
The usual suspects start appearing.. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... Nf6 3. d3 Nc6 |
I did consider Nd7 but decided to put my knight on c6 instead, as Bg5 wasn't an immediate threat so I had time to play h6 if g5 needed covering. As it turned out this was a vital decision. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. e3 |
Some consider this a "wasted" move as this pawn will finally find it's way to e4 in many scenarios, but it does serve a purpose using e3 as a stop gap... | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Bg4 |
I decided to use the pin and try and force h3 bf5 g5 so as to hinder any ideas of castling, but then this could also be considered a wasted move as the bishop will have to retreat back to d7 or c8 as h3 Bh5 g4 Bg6 losses the Bishop to f5. | ||||

5. Be2 |
Immediately Un-pinning the Queen.. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Qd7 |
This move committed my bishop to the sacrifice but not before pulling out the pawns... | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. O-O O-O-O |
I feel a little happier about sacrificing my bishop now that the white king has castled as the kings cover will be completely blown wide open.... | ||||

7. h3 |
The pawn advance begins, i want maximum effect so i draw out the g pawn to.... | ||||

7... Bf5 8. g4 |
...... | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Bxg4 |
Now is the time to strike! | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. hxg4 |
As expected, if i can pull this off it will be glorious...I feel inspired. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Qxg4+ |
Collecting the second pawn in exchange for my bishop, I also gain an enormous potential for an all out assault... | ||||
| | |||||

10. Kh2 |
Dodging the bullets... | ||||

|
10... Qh5+ |
Firing another volley and opening space for my knight if need be, one way or another i have to drought in reinforcements and quickly if i am to keep my attacking edge..... | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Kg1 h6 |
In preparation for g5 and hopefully a fast route for my castle and Kings Bishop to enter the maelstrom.... | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Nc3 |
I guess this was an attempt to coordinate a defensive counter and develop.... | ||||

|
12... g5 |
I needed to create threats and I felt this was a good plan.... | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. fxg5 |
I don't know if this was best but I'm happy to exchange, I'm sure my opponent felt he had to keep the g file closed by any means... | ||||
