1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 c5 |
Leaves a big gaping hole on d5, and also weakens b5 slightly. |
| | |
|
5. Nf3 |
The proper retreat square, keeping an eye on e5. |
| | |
|
5... Bg4 |
Black needs to think about castling. Nf6 might have been better. There's little point in pinning the knight at this point because it's not threatening anything. |
| | |
|
6. Be2 Nf6 |
A good move, preparing to castle. |
| | |
|
7. Nc3 Qe7 |
Be7 was necessary. |
| | |
|
8. O-O |
White sees that his e4 pawn isn't really in danger. |
| | |
|
8... Nxe4 |
Black takes the bait. |
| | |
|
9. Nxe4 Qxe4 10. Re1 |
If the queen doesn't move, Bb5 wins the queen, whether or not it's check. Black's only try is Qb4, but even here, he's in trouble. |
| | |
|
10... Qc6 11. a4 |
White could have won the queen right away with Bb5 !. |
| | |
|
11... Qc7 |
Now White has a forced mate. |
| | |
|
12. Bb5+ Kd8 13. Re8# |
