1. e4 e6 |
The French Defense. |
| | |
|
2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 |
The Winawer variation. |
| | |
|
4. e5 c5 5. Bd2 |
A quiet continuation. 5. a3 is the more common move. 5. Bd2 signals white's interest in trading dark square bishops. |
| | |
|
5... Ne7 6. Nb5 |
Forcing the bishop trade and eyeing d6. |
| | |
|
6... Bxd2+ 7. Qxd2 O-O 8. f4 |
White needs the f-pawn to help secure the center. |
| | |
|
8... a6 9. Nd6 cxd4 10. Nf3 Nbc6 11. Bd3 |
Giving up a pawn in order to launch an attack. |
| | |
|
11... f6 |
A typical break in the French defense. Black often attacks a white pawn chain at the head as well as at the base of the chain. |
| | |
|
12. O-O Bd7 13. Qe1 |
Supporting the e-pawn and facilitating the queen's transfer to the kingside via the e1-h4 diagonal. |
| | |
|
13... Nc8 |
Black forces the d6 knight's exchange. |
| | |
|
14. Nxc8 Rxc8 15. a3 |
To prevent 15. Nb4. |
| | |
|
15... fxe5 16. fxe5 h6 |
Creating a white square weakness around the king, but black has to make some conssession. |
| | |
|
17. Qg3 Ne7 |
Black covers the white square on g6 just in time. |
| | |
|
18. Nxd4 |
A mistake. A move such as 18. Kh1 would've been better. |
| | |
|
18... Qb6 |
Ouch! |
| | |
|
19. Qe3 Qxb2 20. Rxf8+ Rxf8 21. Re1 |
White is a pawn down with diminished attacking chances. |
| | |
|
21... Qxa3 |
Oops. |
| | |
|
22. Bh7+ |
A classic clearance sacrifice, where the bishop forces black to respond to the check while the queen on a3 is left hanging. 1-0. |
