This is a sparkling little game. Black plays the opening inaccurately, white wins a piece for 2 pawns, but more importantly black's king is stuck in the centre. White sacrifices to mate! | ||||||
|
1. d4 |
I start with my normal. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... d5 |
He replies conventionally. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. c4 |
I opt for the Queen's Gambit. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... Nf6 |
This is inferior, as his knight gets kicked around. Better is e6 or c6. | |||||

|
3. cxd5 |
So I take. | |||||
| 2 comments | ||||||
|
3... Nxd5 |
He takes back. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. e4 |
I attack the knight, and seize the centre. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Nb6 |
f6 was a better square, where he attacks the e pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. Nc3 |
I develop. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... e6 |
So does he. | |||||

6. Be3 |
Developing the bishop, and also discouraging c7-c5 which attacks my centre. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Nc6 |
He attacks d4 again. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Bd3 |
If he takes on d4 now, I take back, and if he recaptures with the queen he loses it to Bb5 check. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Bb4 |
Another inaccuracy as an exchange on c3 simply strengthens my centre. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. f4 |
I prevent the other pawn break by him - e7-e5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Ne7 |
Not sure why he played this? | |||||

9. Nf3 |
I develop my last minor piece. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... h6 |
Again I think this is rather a waste of a move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. O-O |
I castle, bringing my king to safety and my Rh1 into play. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... a6 |
I mirror of h6 perhaps, but again, not helping his development. | |||||
