1. d4 |
Queens pawn opening. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... b6 |
Owens defence, I think. The plan is to develop first and then to attack in the centre with d5 and c5. However black plays extremely passivly. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. c4 Nc6 |
This knight should only go here after black plays c5 or it may be better supporting c5 from d7. Here it's a target for the white pawns to attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Nc3 Bb7 4. e4 |
Builing a big pawn centre. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Ba6 |
The c4 pawn is already guarded so it may be better to play Bb7. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Be3 Nf6 |
Again, a tagret for the white pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. e5 |
Gaining time at the expense of the black knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Ng8 |
This is the only move as the white queen guards g4 and h5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. f4 |
This pawn centre is difficult to break down. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... f5 8. d5 Na5 9. b3 c5 |
Black is trying to blockade the position to stop the pawns marching forward, but it is already nearly too late. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Bd3 g6 11. Nf3 d6 12. O-O |
With development finished, white can try pressing for an attack now. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Bg7 13. Qc2 h5 14. Ng5 |
Looking at the weak square e6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bh6 |
Basically forcing the knight to a square it was already going to. For example Bc8 e6, Nh6 and it will take alot longer for white to break through. Black can try to organise a defence but white should eventually get through. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Ne6 |
Excellent square for the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Qd7 16. Qf2 |
Intending Qg3 to pressurise g6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... b5 |
Loses a pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. cxb5 Bb7 18. exd6 |
Opening up a line of attack towards the king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... exd6 19. b6 |
Threat: Bb5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... axb6 |
a6 may have been better, preventing Bb5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Bb5 Bc6 |
Best move in a bad situation. | ||||
| | |||||
