1. e4 |
This is a very short game, with white rather surprisingly getting mated! | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c5 |
So it starts as a Sicilian Defence. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nc3 |
This seems to indicate the closed variations. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... Nc6 |
I reply in kind. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nf3 |
White develops her other knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... d6 |
I keep my options open. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. d4 |
And white transposes now into the Open Sicilian. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... cxd4 |
So I take. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Nxd4 |
She takes back. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Nf6 |
I continue to develop, with the main line. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Bg5 |
She continues with the Richter-Rauzer Attack, probably the strongest line for white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... e6 |
And this is the most common reply, although other moves are quite playable. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Bb5 |
This is a bit unusual. 7. Qd2 and 8. 0-0-0 is more common. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Bd7 |
I have to defend against the double attack on Nc6 | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. O-O |
She castles to safety. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Be7 |
I develop. All this has been seen before. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Re1 |
Normal development. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... O-O |
I castle too. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Nxc6 |
Although it has been played before, I don't like this move for white. It is not the sort of move I would ever play as white. After the recapture with the pawn, Black's pawn centre is strengthened. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... bxc6 |
Not only that I am now attacking the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
