1. e4 |
A common move for white. My usual opening. I also like c4, d4 and g3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 |
A common move for black. As black, I prefer e6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. f4 |
My favorite opening. I like this opening, but lately I've been unlucky with it. I think I will try d4 and c4, which I've heard are better moves than e4 and f4 (Because of black playing e5 then d5). Lately every game I play goes 1.e4 e5,2.f4 exf4,3.Nf3 g5,4.Bc4 g4,5.Ne5 Qh4, 6.Kf1 Nh6,7.d4 d6,8.Nd3. What am I doing wrong? | ||||

2... exf4 |
For those who don't know, my goal was to sacrifice a pawn to get a good attack on f7 (eventually) and to get a good center now that the pawn on e5 is gone. In most games, white will regain the pawn and will keep a good position. In other games, white will not regain the pawn, but will have a huge advance in development. Common moves for white now are Nf3, Bc4 and d4. | ||||

3. Nf3 |
This move keeps pressure on the center and stops the black Queen from going to h4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... g5 |
The most common move at this point. Black will try a quick attack on the king in some games, and in others, the goal was to defend f4 I hear h4 is good for white, but I don't see it. | ||||

4. Bc4 |
Continuing development. Usually my next move would be d4, but not in this game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... g4 |
I have several options here. I like Ne5, but I went with something new this time. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. O-O |
White is sacrificing a knight for a huge advance in development. | ||||

5... gxf3 |
If black doesn't take, my development would be great compared to black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Qxf3 |
I have a bishop, Queen and rook all charging at f7. Black's goal is to defend without giving any pieces away. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Qf6 |
Qxf4 would ruin the entire point of the attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. d3 |
Developing the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Nc6 |
Developing the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bxf4 |
My attack is still strong. I still have to think about attacking and trading as few pieces possible. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nd4 |
2 most common moves are Qf2 and Qh5 for white. Qf2 is much more defensive, the opposite that I need to be know. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Qh5 |
Black has to be careful, my attack is getting stronger (Can you believe that I'm going to lose in 3 moves.). | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Ne6 |
Black needs to defend. This was probobly the best move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Be5 |
The winning move for me. I either win the Queen or rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Bc5+ |
If I would have played slower, I would have noticed d4, which wins. I would have also noticed that the white rook wasn't defended. | ||||
