3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 Bf5 |
This move would waste time if White followed up with 5.Qb3 as in the next note. 4...Bg4 is often played here and leads to a more open aggressive game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. e3 |
Qb3! would lead to a better game for White. Then if 5...Qd7 6.Ne5 follows, and if 5...Qc7 6.cxd wins a pawn. Black would have no better than 5...Bc8 wasting 2 tempos and leading to White gaining an edge in development. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... e6 6. cxd5 |
White doesn't gain anything here by releasing the tension in the center. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... cxd5 |
6...exd5 seems like a better choice here as black's queenside now becomes vulnerable. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Be2 |
7.Bb4 puts more pressure on Black's position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Bd6 8. O-O |
8.Nb5 carries the attack to Black. If then 8...Bb4 9.Bd2 and White can try trading his locked in bishop for Black's freer one. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... O-O 9. Bd2 |
9.b3 followed by 10.Bb2 seems like a better way to position the locked in bishop. At some uture time, White then may be able to free it when exchanges occur on e5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Qb6 |
Searching for some way to build on Black's position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. b4 |
Too agressive a move. 10.Na4 followed by 11.Rc1 and possibly a future Nc5 is a better choice. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Bxb4 |
Obviously | ||||

11. Rb1 |
Leaving his rook en-pris. | ||||

11... a5 |
Black misses the gift White handed him. | ||||

12. Rb2 |
gift has been taken back. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Qc7 |
Freeing the queen from the pinned bishop, and attacking the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Qb3 Nc6 14. a4 |
14.Rc1 is better. White would contest the open file and prepare for a future Nb5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Qe7 |
Not much point in this move. 14...Rc8 adding pressure on the c file is better. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Ne5 |
I still like Rc1 better, | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Rab8 |
Wrong file for this rook. Rooks should be placed on open files. | ||||

What's the pirpose of this move? | ||||
