|
1. f4 |
Bird's Opening. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
1... Nf6 |
Usually d5 to attempt to establish pawn center followed by this move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2. e3 |
Supports f4 and continues Bird's Opening. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2... d5 |
Helps to counter f4 and applies pressure in center especially on e4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3. d3 |
Eases pressure on e4 and prevents option of a knight outpost on e4 later in game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3... Nc6 |
Helps to control center. Although I have seen c5 then this move afterwards. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4. Nf3 |
Helps apply pressure to the dark central squares which is an objective for the Bird's Opening. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4... Bg4 |
Pins the knight and temporarily lessens its central threat. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5. Be2 |
Unleashes the pin and makes way to castle. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5... e6 |
Supports d5 and gives the f8 bishop some options. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6. O-O |
A safe guard before attacking the queenside. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6... Bd6 |
Develops the bishop while adding support to e5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7. a3 |
Starts queenside attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7... O-O |
Ideal. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8. b4 |
Continues queenside attack, prevents black bishop to c5, and allows Bb2 for white which gives white more control over the dark central squares. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8... a6 |
Prevents b5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9. Nbd2 |
Hoping for c4 next move and if black takes back, I take with my knight and have a temporary outpost on c4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9... b5 |
An effective move that halts my plans for the queenside for now. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10. Bb2 |
Fianchettoes the bishop and attacks the dark center squares. Also allows rook c1 which can help support pawn c4 afterwards. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10... a5 |
Hoping to control b4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
