In this game white starts out by playing a risky polish opening:b4 and ends up getting into a worse position almost from the start. Notice how development is even around move 13 but the quality of black's is much better This game should show you how to make sure you don't develop without a plan in mind. | ||||||
|
1. b4 |
White plays the polish opening , gaining queenside space but creating a weak b4 pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... Nf6 2. Bb2 e6 |
Black plays conservite to force the b pawn to advance or become a target after a5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. a3 a5 4. c3 |
Defending the b- pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... d5 5. d3 Nc6 |
Black is already much better as the bishop on b2 is weak and white has many queenside weaknesses. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. b5 Ne7 |
Rerouting the knight to g6. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. g3 |
Preparing a double fianchetto. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Ng6 8. Bh3 |
Really weak as 8:Bh3 weakens white's kingside and at any time black can play e5 and gain center space while threatening to exchange light squared bishiops. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... b6 |
Black fixes the b5 pawn so it becomes a target. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Nd2 Bb7 |
Black decides that the misplaced h3 bishop and threat of d4 will leave him with a long initiative. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. d4 |
Stopping the potential threat of d4. But this fixes the b2 bishop on a horrible square and white will have to waste 3 tempo redeveloping his misplaced bishops. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Qd7 |
Eveying the b5 pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. a4 Rc8 |
Preparing a c5 push as this gains queenside space and after c5 puts his rook on an active post. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. Ngf3 |
FINALLY.... Developing , but now it's too late as black will play c5 and have queenside initiative. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12... Bd6 |
Developing black's last piece. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13. O-O O-O |
Both players protect the king's and have all their pieces developed but the quality of white's development is poor and for that black dictates play for the rest of the game. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. Ng5 |
Not doing anything , white wastes an important tempo. Better would be Bg2 trying to redevelop his misplace pieces. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14... c5 15. bxc6 e.p. |
? This move leaves white with a backward c pawn and though black has a matching one on b6 all of black's pieces are much more active and can take advantage of the c3 weakness. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15... Qxc6 16. e3 |
Still not developing , Ba3 trading bad for good bishop is one idea or even Bg2. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16... h6 17. Ngf3 Ne4 |
After 18: Nxe4 dxe4 19:Nd2 f5 Black has a huge bind on the white position . | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18. Nb1 |
? But this undevelops another piece and increases black's advantage. | |||||
