Dutch defense | ||||

|
2. g3 d6 3. Bg2 Nf6 4. c4 g6 5. Nc3 Bg7 6. Nf3 O-O 7. O-O Nc6 8. Bg5 |
Perhaps this isn't the right square for the bishop. | ||||

8... Ne4 |
If 8. Nxe4 fxe4 9. Nh4 nxd4 is good for black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Be3 Nxc3 10. bxc3 |
Black has weakened White's queenside pawn structure. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... h6 |
stops the knight going to g5, but creates a target on h6. | ||||

|
11. h4 |
stops ...g5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... e5 |
If white takes the e5 pawn a queen swap is likely, which would not suit white at this stage. | ||||

12. Qd2 Kh7 |
Protects the h pawn. Later in the game the black king's position on the edge of the board will be a problem for black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Ne1 |
knight is aiming for d3, and then f4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Bd7 14. Nd3 e4 15. Nf4 |
A good outpost for the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Na5 |
threatens the weakened c4 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. c5 Nc4 17. Qc1 dxc5 18. f3 |
white is in no hurry to capture back on c5, which would create doubled isolated pawns on the c file. It's more important to attack the pawn on e4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Re8 19. fxe4 fxe4 20. dxc5 Bf5 |
? Perhaps Nxe3 would be better. | ||||

21. Rd1 Qe7 22. Bd4 |
White is pleased to have the bishop on d4, protecting c3 and preparing e3. This also frees up the white queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... c6 23. e3 Rad8 24. Bf1 |
Chases the knight away from c4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Ne5 25. Kf2 |
White fears 25...Nf3 26 Kf2 Nxh4 27 gxh4 Qxh4 which looks promising for Black. With this move white can answer ...Nf3 with Ng2, and then ...Nxh4 is met by Nxh4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Ref8 |
white has to be careful of a pin or discovered check on the open f file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Be2 |
Anticipating the opening (or half opening) of the h file. White wants to transfer the rook back to h1. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... g5 27. hxg5 Qxg5 |
Worth considering is ...hxg5 28 Rh1 Bh6 and white has real problems with the f4 knight, ...Nd3 (forking king and queen), and ...Bg4 (possibly with a discovered check). | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Rh1 |
Maybe the rook will go to h4 at some stage. | ||||
