a very interesting game which is well played by my opponent |
|
1. e4 e5 2. d4
|
queens pawn sacrafice |

|
|
|
2... exd4
|
this is a sacrafice to gain development |

|
|
|
3. Nf3
|
continuing development |

|
|
|
3... Nc6 4. c3 dxc3 5. Bc4
|
queens side pawns are sacrificed to gain advantage on the kings side |

|
|
|
5... cxb2 6. Bxb2 Bb4+
|
this check is expected |

|
|
|
7. Nc3 Qe7
|
however the knight is pinned leaving e4 vunerable |

|
|
|
8. O-O
|
the plan is to get control of the e-file |

|
|
|
8... Nf6 9. Re1
|
his queen is not in a good position |

|
|
|
9... O-O
|
castle to protect the queens position |

|
|
|
10. e5
|
press for an advantage on the e-file |

|
|
|
10... Ng4 11. Nd5
|
press an attack |

|
|
|
11... Qd8
|
his queen has limited abilities |

|
|
|
12. Re4
|
this move was premature but black must be concerned with the middle now |

|
|
|
12... d6
|
attacks my advanced pawn and opens up the white diagonal for his bishop |

|
|
|
13. a3
|
this was a mistake as his bishop doesnt threaten anything at its ucrrent position |

|
|
|
13... Bc5
|
now its in a better position |

|
|
|
14. h3
|
? ? - i should have lost the game here - knight to f2 forks the queen and rook |

|
|
|
14... Ngxe5
|
? ? he missed it - he wont miss another one |

|
|
|
15. Nxe5
|
i gladly trade my inactive knight for his which is in an aggressive position |

|
|
|
15... dxe5
|
now im in the middle game three pawns down but in a slightly superior middle position |
