I decided to annotate this game because it shows that a chess player must be cocentrated in every moment of the game and because I won after only 19 moves - something which is not usual for me. | |||||

I tried diffrent variations against e4 but nothing has proven to be better than sicilian. | ||||

White pushed the game into Gloria variation. I've rarely met this variation so I decided to follow the book strictky or at least as far as I could. | ||||

Until this move everything was usual. I don't know what the idea of ths move was but it didn't existed in the DB. I decided to castle early, because as I said I haven't played the Gloria variation so often. | ||||

Well if Bg5 wasn't a complete mistake so that is a blunder. Why would you possibly play that ? Can someone answer me ? You lose a turn to bring your bishop ahead and then exchange it for a undeveloped knight. Additionaly he allows my black squared bishop to open his diagonal and threaten c3 and put pressure on b2 and a1 | ||||

This move is obviously a mistake. He wants to have the possibility of Bc7 but doesn't see that Bxb2 | ||||

Of course I don't retreat immediately. White's mistakes give me a oppurtunity to attack the uncastled king. | ||||

Only possible move if he wants to castle in the future. | ||||

I retreat but not fully. My bishop is still in a good position, but White's chances to castle and put an end to my attack are big. | ||||

11. f3 |
Another mistake. I don't have an idea what's the purpose of this move. He opens my black squared and makes his castling very complicated. | ||||

I eliminate the danger of Bc7 i order to make my attack easier. | ||||

I win another pawn. | ||||

|
13. Ne2 |
Well that is another move I don't like. He leaves the pawn on d3 without any support and tries without having enough power to force my bishop to retreat. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Be3 |
As I said - not enough support | ||||

14. Nb3 Nb4 |
I involve my kight in the attack in order to have more power and to push him for Bc7# | ||||

I decide that is it time to attack and force the king to move from his hide place | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Kf2 Nxd3+ |
The unsupported d3 pawn helps me to continue my attack and bring the king further away. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Kg3 |
only possible move because of Be3# | ||||

|
17... h5 |
Here I need to bring another figure in the attack and the h7 pawn is ideal for it. | ||||

White's last mistake. Not so bad as a move but only when the king isn't near mate. I mean the knight does nothing to help the king of escaping the dangoures situation. A possibly better move is h4 which would at least give the king a chance to survive. | ||||
