This is my first attempt at an annotation, and im only recently new to the world of chess, so constructive comments are appreciated. This is game 2 against my opponent who i purposesly leave as anonomous. The first game was won convincingly by my opponent and i was on a losing streak, so i needed a confidence booster to break my losing streak.

1. e4 c5 |
Ive seen this response as black a few times, not sure what its called, but I think its a scandinavian defence?. I can see its aimed at stunting my progress into the centre with d4 | |||||

|
2. Nf3 a6 |
Through review of other annotated games, this defensive move is common on GK and ive adopted the defence myself as it prevents the pin on the knight or d pawn with the white bishop on b5. | |||||

3. Nc3 |
I normally play an Itallian opening, which has worked ok for me, but i wanted to try getting both of my knights out into the centre before i developed my bishops | |||||

|
3... e6 4. Be2 |
clearing space to castle kingside, i heard it said once, castle early...not sure whether this is still thought of as a good idea. Ive also seen others wait until they see what happens in the opening game first then castle before the attack. | |||||

9. d3 Bxe5 |
with my knight on e4 i intended to pressure blacks queen with my dark bishop taking advantage of the cover on e4. It is at this point that i see a few good forking opportunities. (thats fork - ing not the expletive way you'd pronounce it if you were from Ireland...I've got Irish ancestors...G'day to all the Irish out there) | |||||
