1. d4
|
This was a fun game with a nice forced checkmate at the end. Black fought well and only really made one big mistake... |

|
|
|
1... d5 2. c4
|
c4 attacks |

|
|
|
2... dxc4
|
accepted |

|
|
|
3. e3
|
I used E3 this time instead of E4. I give up control of d5 and f5 and block my dark bishop in exchange for the strenght of protecting d4. |

|
|
|
3... Nf6 4. Bxc4
|
Quickly white has nice postion and development. |

|
|
|
4... e6 5. Nf3

|
|
|
5... Bb4+
|
check threat. I don't mind the impending exhange as it move my bpawn closer to the centre and supports the d4 square. Since I am castleing kingside, its all good. |

|
|
|
6. Nc3 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3
|
The predicated exhange is done. Black can now castle and beat white to it! |

|

|
7... O-O 8. O-O Qe7
|
Interesting. I was expecting Nc6 |

|
|
|
9. a4
|
I try this attempt to open up the double pin with Ba3 |

|
|
|

|
Here is the big mistake. I believe black may not have realized the threat. |

|
|
|
10. Ba3
|
There it is. Attack! |

In exchange for the bishop. Black is still in the game but never recovers.. |

|
|
12. Rb1

Attack the file |

|
|
|
12... b6 13. Qc2
|
freeing up the second rook and putting some pressure on h7 |

|
|
|
13... Nc6
|
black is developing the last of his power players |

|
|
|
