1. e3 |
I'm not real familiar with playing against an E3 opening. I was taught that I needed to be more aggressive in my first moves, so this is "out of my book". I just play for control of the center like I was brought up. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... e5 |
"Logical Chess, Move by Move" by Iving Chernev. Unsure whether I should respond with e6 or d6 I flip a coin. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. Qh5 |
Clearly the wrong choice. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... Nc6 |
I want to attack his queen, but I have to support that pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Bc4 |
There's the threat... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... d5 |
I desperately want to punish him for bringing out his queen so early, but mate on f7 would suck, big time. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Bb3 Nf6 |
There's what I've been waiting for! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. Qf3 |
And with him on the run... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Bg4 |
I continue my attack... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Qg3 |
I consider h5 here, but I want to stay aggresive and that just seems to give away the tempo. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Bd6 |
So I bring up my kings bishop thinking that with 6. ... e4 I may be able to trap his queen over on that side of the board | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Bxd5 |
But I overlook that my knight is pulling double duty and promtly lose a pawn. That sucks. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... h5 |
Better late than never, I support my bishop like I should have done earlier. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. e4 |
Now he starts competing for the center and I'm pissed at myself | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... O-O |
But I've learned my lesson in this game and start gathering up my defenses before I go on the attack. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. h3 |
Now I've got to go almost all the way home because of my blunder | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Bd7 |
I consider Be3, but down in material I need to avoid trading pieces and muster up a counter attack. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. d3 |
He supports his center pawn and I look for an opening. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Re8 |
With his bishop on a clear path to h6 I need to avoid mate on g7. I plan to counter Bh6 with g6, but that would cost me my rook unless I move him. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. Bh6 |
A good move. I'm really fighting for survival now. | |||||
