1. e4 |
King pawn opening and here we go | ||||

1... e5 |
Standard play from here until, well, I'll just stop you when we get there | ||||

2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. Bb5 d6 |
A kind of transposed Ruy Lopez. This structure is very solid for black, though the self-pin may seem a little dangerous and can in many lines prove to be fatal if black isn't careful. | ||||

5. d4 |
Bold play not dissimilar to the Center game | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... exd4 |
Why not? Seems to give the best chances for wresting the initiative. plus the center pawns were rather imposing | ||||
| | |||||

6. Nxd4 |
That pin's starting to feel pretty threatening.. | ||||

best defence | ||||

|
7. Nxc6 Bxc6 8. Bxc6+ bxc6 |
I'll take doubled pawns for increased center control | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. O-O Be7 10. Be3 |
Good development on both sides so far | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... O-O 11. f4 |
Good push by white. Gains central and kingside space and gathers steam for a possible kingside attack | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Rb8 |
? bleah--squanders the pawn, but ends up gaining a slight intiative and two half-open files. Nevertheless, this is clearly a blunder | ||||

The real blunder, as last move the bishop could not take my pawn because I could take the b-pawn | ||||

! takes it--and why not? | ||||

|
13... Rb7 |
Gain of tempo | ||||

14. Be3 Ng4 |
Loving that awkwardly placed bishop | ||||

15. f5 |
?? Blunders the material WAY back | ||||

Thanks ;) | ||||

17. Rxf1 Bf6 18. Ne2 Re8 19. Ng3 |
Trying desperately for some kingside play, though it may have been relatively best to try to make the g and h pawns have some effect on the game, as the knight proved unable to deliver the fatal blow | ||||

Trying to get that rook to the kingside, somehow | ||||
