1. d4 |
The second game between me and bowlem. I lost the first one and I tried to equalize with this game. |
| | |
|
1... Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 b5 |
the Benko Gambit |
| | |
|
4. a4 |
An interesting answer to the Benko Gambit |
| | |
|
4... b4 5. Bg5 |
very aggressive, but interesting |
| | |
|
5... d6 6. Nf3 |
if 6.Bxf6, then 6.exf6 followed by Be7 and O-O gives black a solid defense and a good square for the rook |
| | |
|
6... g6 7. Nbd2 Bg7 8. Qc2 e6 |
8. ... h6 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.e3 = would be safer |
| | |
|
9. e4 h6 10. Bh4 g5 11. Bg3 e5 12. Bd3 Nbd7 13. h3 a5 14. Rd1 Nb6 15. b3 Nh5 |
now Black's attack starts |
| | |
|
16. Bh2 Nf4 17. Bxf4 exf4 |
opens the a1-h8 diagonal for the bishop |
| | |
|
18. O-O h5 19. Nh2 |
because of 19. ... g4 |
| | |
|
19... g4 20. g3 |
? A mistake |
| | |
|
20... Be5 |
" The position is about to explode!" 20. ... fxg3!? 21.fxg3 Bd4 and White is lost, because 22.Kh1 is answered by h4! and 22.Kh2 gxh3 doesn't help anyway. |
| | |
|
21. gxf4 Bxf4 22. Rfe1 |
perhaps the sacrifice e5!? would have held the fort some moves longer... |
| | |
|
22... Qh4 |
22. ... gxh3 is also possible |
| | |
|
23. Ndf1 Qxh3 24. Qe2 Rg8 |
prepares g3 |
| | |
|
25. Bc2 g3 26. fxg3 Bxg3 27. Nxg3 Rxg3+ 28. Kh1 Bg4 |
a nice finish and White has to sacrifice his Queen, because of 29. ... Bf3. |
