1. e4 |
This in annotation of a game played against a team mate for coaching only. I have never coached, never been coached and never annotated a game. So any comments are welcome! | ||||

1... e5 |
e4 e5, very popular opening among "beginners". This often leads to an open game. In open games it's important to have the bishop pair (so if you have the possiblity to exchange a knight for a bishop, you should consider it) because the bishop can control a complete diagonal when the center is open. | ||||

2. Nf3 |
During the opening, develop all pieces (N, B, R) before attacking. Also develop your pieces towards the center, like Nf3 is much better Nh3 for instance. | ||||

2... Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 |
The Scotch game. White has 2 options: defending the knight with Be3 (not c3, because 5. ... Qh4 will give you problems) or running away. If you chose to run make sure don't lose a tempo or you'll delay your devellopment. Nb3 is good because black is forced to move his bishop again = no tempo lost. Nf3 is less good. | ||||

Good move, asking to exchange pieces or when not getting rid of that annoying pin | ||||

10. Bh4 |
No way, I'll exchange my bishop for that knight and getting his dark squared bishop and queen pointing at f2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... a5 |
a5? Ofcourse I expected g5, but I realised that he still had a change to play g5 after Nd5. | ||||

11. Nd5 Bg4 |
Beginners mistake. Not seeing the check by capturing the defender of the attacker, and winning a piece with tempo | ||||

12... Kh8 13. Qxg4 |
A piece behind and opening kings position totally. Game is in fact already lost for black, but he decided to play further. No problem for me. | ||||
