1. d4
1. d4 is not my regular opening for white; most of the time I'm playing the London System.

 
1... f5
Wow ! A whole new world opened for me ! Dutch ! It was the first time I've played against that opening-line.. Let's see what it brings..

 
2. c4
Let's go into Dutch Defense then..

 
2... Nf6 3. Nc3
With this knight-move, white controls all centre-fields..

 
3... e6
In meanwhile, the opening is called "Dutch with c4 & Nc3". Black makes an open line to position his bishop on b4, to pin my knight.

 
4. Bg5 Be7
Black's preparing to castle..

 
5. Nf3 O-O 6. e3
Normal developing.. One more move and white is also ready to castle on kingside.

6... Ne4
A nice attacking move from black ! 6. ... h6 would create openings in her king's defence, where white could take advantage of..

 
7. Bxe7
Black is forced to take my bishop.. On the next move, I will capture her knight, wich, after taking back, will create a double-pawn.

 
7... Qxe7 8. Nxe4 fxe4 9. Nd2
Attacking that lonely e-pawn.. 9. Ne5 would result in 9. ... d6, so it would cost me another move to get my knight to a safer place..

9... d5
Protecting the e-pawn.. Actually, I think black hopes on 10. cxd5 exd5; wich will re-arrange black's centre-pawns..

 
10. c5 e5
11. dxe5 would mess up my pawn-structure, while awaiting 11. ? exd4 12. exd4 e3 would bring me in troubles.. Let's develop my bishop to e2, (only field available, since 11. Bb5 would straighten black's pawn-diagonal) to prepare the castling..

11. Be2 a6
I don't really understand why black played this move; since there is no threat from white's bishop..

12. O-O
Finally, castling :)

 
12... Be6
Maybe 12. ... Bd6 would've been better ? So black could have the chance to play 13. ... Bb5 ?

13. f3
I thought opening the f-line would be great; since my two rooks and queen where on the same rank (a nice open line could become desastreus for black; once white took control of it !).

13... Bf5 14. fxe4
Opening a nice line for my rook. Black now can take my pawn with his pawn, wich will double his structure up, once again. Not so good, so it's best to wait for white's actions..

14... Be6 15. exd5
That pawn is a double-pawn anyway, so why not putting some pressure on black, while winning some pawns ? The treathening on the f-file still remains, so ..

 
15... Bxd5
Only (good) move at the moment.

 
16. Rxf8+
Exchanging some pieces.. Situation at the moment: black has an isolated pawn at the e-line, wich will be lost later on; while white still has a closed pawn-line from the a- till e-rank..
