1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Be3 |
A move that is bad for three reasons. It blocks the e-pawn. This in turn prevents the f-bishop from developing normally. And it does nothing (protects a pawn that does not need protection). | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Bf5 4. Nf3 e6 5. g3 |
At least the bishop will try a fianchetto. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Bb4 6. a3 Ba5 7. Bf4 |
Finally this bishop is at a better square, but maybe g5 was better. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Ne4 8. a4 |
Useless. Now black will win a pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nxc3 |
BxN was also possible. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Qd2 Nxe2 10. Qxa5 Nxf4 11. gxf4 O-O |
Bxc2 was possible, since after Rc1 black can play b6. But black plays it safe. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. c4 |
This could have been a good idea, were it not for white's reply. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Be4 13. Bg2 b6 14. Qd2 |
Why not c3? | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... dxc4 |
Another pawn is netted. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Qe3 Bd5 16. O-O Nd7 17. Ne5 Nf6 |
With an idea that is interesting... | ||||
| | |||||

18. Rac1 Bxg2 19. Kxg2 Qd5+ 20. f3 Rac8 21. Rxc4 Ng4 |
This is the move black had in mind, but it is unsound. | ||||

22. Qe2 |
Not so bad, but Qc3 was better to put pressure on the weak c7 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Nxe5 |
Maybe black would have been better off swallowing his pride and put the knight back on f6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. fxe5 |
Now white is back on track. The c column is all his. But black has the d column with a passed pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Rfd8 24. Rg1 |
It is tempting to use the open column to attack the black king, but I beleive here the right strategy was to go for the c7 pawn. So R(f)-c1 was called for. The attack on the g file is not as dangerous as it seems. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Qd7 |
The queen must yield the front position to the rook (and possibly come to the rescue of the king). | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Kf1 |
Kh1 was much to be preferred, putting the king to safety, and still allowing for the g rook to go to c1. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... c5 |
Now black can play this freeing move which also becomes an attacking move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Qg2 g6 27. f4 |
Even though this move does not help the attack, it is already difficult to find a saving move for white, since opening the center is suicidal for white. But it will be opened anyway. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... cxd4 28. Rb4 |
Rc2 (or RxR) was an absolute necessity. | ||||
