third game with nuntar. Always a pleasure, because there is no surprise during the opening, and then we can try "things". Here is the case, though I am convinced my friend didn't play the end very clearly | ||||||

I see no reason to dislike this situation. On the contrary: I open the queen side and keep an average center. | |||||

recuperating the pawn... without the bishop. | |||||

expose the possibility of Bxf3 and disabling the castling, but I guess black was not very open to the possibility of a second opened colum, right on the king side. | |||||

both camp castled... White has to concentrate the battle on the queen side. | |||||

the idea was double: or you change, and I reconstruct my pawns line (which happened), or you go away and lose a tempo. | |||||

13. axb4 a6 |
seems obvious... though this will lead to gain. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. Bb2 |
preventing Ne4? Yes, but mostly preparing the rooks doubling on a column | |||||

... haven't seen the plan. | |||||

starting the progression. I am not sure black saw the coupled possibility of b4-b5 with the bishop e2 and the two rooks before the next move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15... Ne4 |
this move, though apparently placing a good knight, has no perspective: c3 and d2 are protected. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16. Rfa1 |
now, if b5, axb loses a rook and Bxb5, Bxb5 axb too. So the main perspective here is to lose a pawn... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16... Nb6 |
but black wants to preserve the pawn by giving the possibility to play axb. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17. c4 |
well, then, we are going to get more soldiers.. on b5? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17... h6 18. c5 |
NO! we eliminate a defensor. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18... Nd5 19. b5 |
and here is the combination previously announced. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
19... Bd7 |
so, just potentially loses a pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
20. bxa6 bxa6 21. Ne5 |
before taking the pawn, white viewed other advantage: as we are three on the pawn, we can allow ourselves to double the attack with this centralized knight. As black moves' Nd2 is without consequence, we can liberate our f3-defender and make him attack the bishop | |||||
