1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 |
The Reti opening. As in the Queen's Gambit, White is trying to remove Black's QP and thereby lessen his control over e4. |
| | |
|
2... d4 |
The Main Line, but other moves are playable: 2...dxc4, 2...c6, 2...e6. |
| | |
|
3. d3 c5 4. b4 |
A gambit, designed to weaken the pawn on d4, but the more conservative 4.g3 is probably better. |
| | |
|
4... cxb4 5. a3 |
Hoping you will capture again and enable him to develop one of his pieces. |
| | |
|
5... Qa5 |
You did right not to capture, but this gives up the pawn on d4 for nothing. Both 5...e6 and 5...b3 have yielded good results. |
| | |
|
6. Bd2 |
White should have just played 6.Nxd4. |
| | |
|
6... e6 |
6...Nc6, defending both pawns, is better (or you could play 6...e5). |
| | |
|
7. Nxd4 |
Material is level again, but White has control of the centre and Black can't do much about it due to the absence of his c and d pawns. |
| | |
|
7... Qe5 |
The best move. |
| | |
|
8. Nb5 |
The simple 8.Nb3 was better. I don't think he looked far enough ahead. |
| | |
|
8... Qxa1 9. Nc7+ Kd8 10. Nxa8 |
White has regained his rook, but how does he extricate his knight? |
| | |
|
10... bxa3 |
Black now has a very dangerous pawn. |
| | |
|
11. Bf4 |
White tries to extricate his knight, but it was more important to counter the threat of the pawn. |
| | |
|
11... Bb4+ |
The immediate 11...e2 is best, but this also wins. |
| | |
|
12. Nd2 Qxd1+ |
12...Qb2 was better. |
| | |
|
13. Kxd1 a2 14. Be5 Nc6 15. Bxg7 |
15.Bb2 would have made it more difficult for you. |
| | |
|
15... f6 16. Nb3 Nd4 |
Well played! |
