Antijogo (1582) vs. stringplayer92 (annotator) (1682) Some very sloppy opening mistakes, but then I capitalize on his capturing of a poison pawn. An easy example of the power of the initiative. This tactic reminds me of the old "see-saw" tactic with the rooks... Hope you enjoy. | ||||

I like this move because of the flexibility. I can transpose into either the French or Sicilian, both are openings I play. Sometimes these "different" move orders will throw-off the players that simply copy opening books such as MCO. | ||||

Here I made the choice to offer to transpose into the sicilian. Though my main opening is the French, I get tried of playing against the exchange variation all the time. Against the 1500-1600 range many players play the exchange. Psychologically, I know that they are probably wanting to go into a simple game that is not in the main lines. | ||||

2... c5 3. d3 |
Again, he avoids the heavily analyzed/unbalanced lines by choosing the Closed Sicilian | ||||

3... Nc6 4. e5 |
This is not such a great move. Though I didn't make the best reply: f6. Instead I switch back to a more French looking line. | ||||

|
4... d5 5. c3 Qc7 |
This was a mistake, losing a tempo. In the normal french line, the Queen belongs on b6. White has lost a tempo with d3 though, so it is simply evening out back into the original French lines. If nothing else I have accomplished my goal of avoiding the exchange variations. | ||||

Where it should have gone originally. | ||||

Planning to go to f5 and put more pressure on d4. White does not want to play Bxh6, and give me the two bishops and a open g-file. The Bxh6 lines, are some of my favorite to play as they are very imbalanced and black gets a quick attack. | ||||

Releasing tension on the center. This doesn't seem best. | ||||

9... Bxc5 |
Developing a piece | ||||

10. Bd3 O-O |
I am not concerned about Bxf5, as this gives me 1) an open file to his weak e-pawn 2) his "good" bishop 3) the two bishops. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Bxf5 |
Yet he does it anyways... | ||||

|
11... exf5 12. Qxd5 |
This was a definite poison, as you will see. My pieces suddenly come alive with tempo after tempo and eventually winning a piece. | ||||
| | |||||

12... Be6 |
Tempo #1 | ||||

Queen must stay on the d-file | ||||

13... Rad8 |
Tempo #2 | ||||

14. Qc2 Bc4 |
Tempo #3 Now the f2 square is weak. If 15.Rd1 I win a free pawn with 15...Bxf2 (16.Qxf2 Rxd1 17.Ne1 Rxe1#) | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Re1 Bd3 |
Tempo #4 Winning a piece now... | ||||

16. Qd2 Bxb1 |
Now I am 2. Though I hate to "count" material by their static values like that. | ||||

17. Qe2 Bd3 |
Getting my bishop back out. | ||||
