This game is from a mini tournament set up by Southern Chess™ team mate and registered cosmologist, ethansiegel. I play white and black is remybear a former team mate and truly all around nice fella! A heck of chess player as well, thanks for the great game Will! | |||||
|
1. d4 |
My standard as white, Queens Pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... d5 2. c4 c5 |
QGD, symmetrical (Austrian) defense I have only played against this opening once, looks like it should be a very open fast paced game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. cxd5 |
I opt for immediate exchange. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Qxd5 |
Black obliges. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Nf3 cxd4 5. Nc3 |
I have 2 knights developed and the black pawn at d4 is a dead duck. Not to mention his Queen being under attack. So far so good, and pretty standard judging from the GK database. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Qa5 6. Nxd4 |
Material equality. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... e5 |
I have to move the Knight twice, which I normally loathe, but I'm okay with that for now. He still has only his Queen developed and my reply will attack her. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Nb3 Qb6 |
I think Black is looking at f2, but with no support that will be a tough one. I don't like having both my knights placed so far from his (and my) King, but this looks playable! | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. e4 |
Stopping the pawn and opening up the WS Bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Bb4 |
Very common pin in the QP game. I never worry about them. I'm typically happy to have a bishop over a knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Bd2 |
I still allow the possibility of the knight moving (like to d6!) and get another piece into the fray. But Black has much potential and I have to be careful! | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Be6 |
More pressure on the knights. I want my WS Bishop out of there and my King safely ensconced in the corner! | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Be2 Nc6 |
pretty even in development and his queen could present a problem. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. O-O |
Mow I can focus on the Queen side attacks, and try some of my own. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Rd8 |
I expected nf6 to prepare to castle. Unless I act, I lose the knight! | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Qc2 Bxb3 13. Qxb3 |
I decide to leave my pawns intact. I wonder though if the open file on A would have helped. Oh well, the die is cast! | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Rxd2 |
Rats! This seems to be my trademark. Squandering a minor piece early on. And one of my beloved bishops at that!At least I still have the other one! | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Bc4 |
I am attacking f7 as well as getting the WS Bishop the heck out of there! | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Qc7 |
Q-c7 was the most common reply in move 7, now I see why.... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nd5 |
Wheee! Fork!! | ||||
