1. d4
Damn..prefer to see e4 so I can play my favourite..French defence.

 
1... Nf6
My standard reply to d4

 
2. Nc3 e6 3. a3 d5 4. Bg5
I cant have this Knight pinned too long so..

 
4... Be7
Interpose Bish to free Knight

 
5. Qd3 h6
not comfortable with that threatening bishop there...chase it away

time to challenge for centre

 
7. Qb5+

8... c4 9. Qg3
hmmmm..very threatening ! Knight on B8 and pawn on G7 attacked

 
9... Nh5
so counter-attack is order of the day....

 
10. Qg4 Nxf4
and I get out of trouble for the time being with the exchange

 
11. Qxf4 Bf6
my pieces are woefully underdeveloped so time to get them moving now..

 
12. h4
where is he going with that??

 
12... Nc6
continuing development

 
13. e3
worried I might move knight to B4 then C2 , so this stops me

 
13... a6
similairly stopping his Knight

 
14. e4 O-O
I am very restricted al round here..havent made the best job of my opening development. Bishop on C8 has no move...not very good from me so far..

 
15. Rh3 b5
Gives the Bish a move...for what its worth !

 
16. Rg3
Immediate threat is Qxh6 , pawn on G7 pinned so cant re-capture..I should have seen this coming before now

 
16... Bxd4
Stupidly ignoring the previous threat..or have I got a cunning plan?
