1. c4 |
English Opening. |
| | |
|
1... c5 |
Trying to go into a symetrical english. |
| | |
|
2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 d5 4. h3 |
The last few moves were main line. However cxd5 Nxd5 g3 is more common than h3. Play would continue: 4:cxd5 Nxd5 5:g3 Nc7 with black building up a big centre with f6 and e5 and white trying to exert pressure with his bishop on g2 and knights. |
| | |
|
4... d4 |
Taking on c4 looks ok but white can regain the pawn with Qa4 or even d3 and Bxc4. |
| | |
|
5. Nb5 Nc6 6. d3 e5 |
Black can look forward to a good game because of his central control. |
| | |
|
7. Bg5 Be7 8. g3 O-O 9. Bg2 Be6 |
Finishing development. |
| | |
|
10. Nh2 Qd7 11. g4 Rab8 |
Threatening a quennside pawn push with a6 and b5. |
| | |
|
12. O-O a6 13. Na3 b5 14. b3 b4 |
I closed the queenside as I thought I had better prospects of a kingside attack. |
| | |
|
15. Nb1 h6 16. Bxf6 Bxf6 17. Nd2 Be7 18. Ne4 h5 |
Maybe f5 was better as it was a little less loosening. |
| | |
|
19. f4 |
White attempts to seize the initiative with this move. |
| | |
|
19... hxg4 20. hxg4 Bxg4 21. Nxg4 Qxg4 22. f5 |
This threatens f6 opening up the kingside. |
| | |
|
22... Bg5 |
I think f6 was better as it dosnt allow f6 which proves awkward for black. |
| | |
|
23. Rf3 Bf4 |
Stopping Rg3. |
| | |
|
24. f6 |
This pawn becomes a thorn in blacks side. |
| | |
|
24... g6 25. Nxc5 |
Material is now level, and I would say that white has an edge. |
| | |
|
25... e4 |
I felt if I didnt take some positive action that I would be pushed back and suffocated.This opens e5 for my knight. |
| | |
|
26. Nxe4 Ne5 27. Rh3 Be3+ |
This may have been a mistake and I think I should have left this square for the knight. Maybe Qf5 to be followed by Ng4-e3. The knight is a short range piece and needs to be closer to the action than the bishop. |
| | |
|
28. Kh1 |
After this white looks fine and a clear pawn up |
| | |
|
28... Rb6 |
I was running out of ideas here and I was surprised when my draw offer was accepted. White has a strong knight on e4 that I cant move, a few open files towards my king with attacking prospects and an extra pawn which shouldn't be too hard to win. |
