2. Nc3 e6 3. a3 d5 4. Bg5

Interpose Bish to free Knight |

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 ! |

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? |
