Somentimes it's nice to see that intuition works over calulation. This was a blitz game. Light annotation... | |||||

1. d4 e6 2. Nf3 b6 3. Bf4 |
My favourite. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Bb7 4. Nbd2 Nf6 5. e3 |
Here, as black, I would have gone for my dsb with Nh5. | ||||

|
5... c5 6. c3 |
This scheme provides me with nice settings, much less "attacheable" than c4 ones. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Nc6 7. h3 |
I've seen my opponen is not fond with the Nh5 idea, but this is not to provide my bishop of a square to hide as to prepare a pawn storm. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Be7 8. g4 O-O |
Thank you, just where I wanted you to be. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Rg1 |
This is to unpin the f3 knight and to prepare h4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... cxd4 10. exd4 |
My queenside keeps closed. It is supposed to be the shield for my king, after o-o-o. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Rc8 |
Good, preventing Qc2 (Nb4) | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. h4 |
Just wait for me... :-) | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Nd5 12. Bh2 |
A little trap. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Bxh4 |
He falls in it. This just helps me, opening the h column. | ||||

13. Bd6 |
...but this move was too juicy to delay. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Re8 |
Now, the trap clicks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. g5 |
He cannot save the bishop, but my king is becoming very exposed, and castling appears very far. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Ne3 |
Nice attempt. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Qb1 |
It was important for me to keep the queen active, and I needed it looking to h7. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Nxf1 16. Kxf1 |
Not with the rook, and not with the knight, because of Nf3 needs protection. This also keeps my king out of the Re8's action (as black, I would have played e5, probably). | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Ba6+ |
I considered to shield with c4, but I didn't like b5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Ke1 |
Well, back to the e column. I thought that now e5 was almost the only black chance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Bxf2+ 18. Kxf2 |
Well, THIS is an exposed king. I am lucky the Bd6 is untouchable, and cramps him a lot. | ||||
