1. Nc3 |
This game is a superb example of the Dunst (Sleipner, Heinrichsen) opening and all its subtleties. White will use constant pressure and ferocious tactics, forcing black to find narrow escapes time and again. It is truly a clash of the titans! Enjoy! | |||||

But the crafty knight gets away! And steals another pawn to boot! Now black must find a way out of this predicament... | |||||

White breaks up his structurally-sound, pawn-wall-of-solitude. | |||||

And black strikes! But will bringing out his rook too early come back to haunt him? | |||||

6. e4 e5 7. Be3 b6 |
Black's iron-pawn-curtain begins to creep up the board... | |||||

White swipes the pawn for check but black is unconcerned... | |||||

Beautiful!! White has left the poor pawn brigade in tatters and castled his king to safety. And all he had to give up were his two useless bishops! --Now we enter the middle game and both players realize they must gain the utmost tempo out of their next moves... | |||||

Breathtaking!!! They reposition their most powerful pieces to seemingly innocuous squares -- but black must be especially rattled here - fearing that white's king might move over one more square and disappear off the board! | |||||
