1. d4 |
This what yet another loss to this talented youngster, still only 17 years old. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... f5 |
He plays the Dutch Defence as last time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Defence | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nc3 |
I play a slightly different move order to our previous game. http://gameknot.com/annotation.pl/malpas-oswestry-1-v-chester-1?gm=64183 | ||||

2... Nf6 |
He prevents e2-e4 - for now. | ||||

I fianchetto again. I think around here I noticed that the board was the wrong way round(with h8 on my left hand sife, not a1) and I insisted it was set up right, so we had a little break while we set it up again. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... g6 |
He plays the king-side fianchetto too. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Bg2 |
I complete it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Bg7 |
So does he. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. e4 |
We have now transposed into the previous game. We were both blitzing out our moves at high speed. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... fxe4 |
He takes. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Nxe4 |
I take back. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Nxe4 |
He takes again. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Bxe4 |
I take again. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... d5 |
He attacks my bishop as before. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bg2 |
8. Bg2 is the only move in the opening databases I use. On f3 the bishop blocks the f2 pawn and could be vulnerable to attacks by the rook down the f file. For instance 8. Bf3? 0-0 and how is white going to complete the development of the king-side? | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nc6 |
And now he breaks with the previous game. I had to start to think. I have to deal with the threat to my d pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. c3 |
This is the most commonly played move for white here. | ||||

Excellent move by black, it prevents his e pawn remaining backward on the semi-open file, like he mistakenly did in our last game. He played the move quickly, from memory. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. dxe5 |
After a think I took. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Nxe5 |
And he took back instantly. Don't you just hate it when your opponent is better prepared than you? Now I had a long think. Do I take on d5 or not? If so what do I take with? Later I found this gameknot game where white took with the queen and lost quickly. http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=17990219&mv=17&rnd=0.5109989752169874 and the Gameknot computer gives 11. Qxd5 as a mistake. However there is also this game where white managed to play 11. Qxd5 and win http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=x685463&mv=21&rnd=0.5267607547382092 In the databases white normally did what I did, and play another move. | ||||
