1. d4 |
a nice game where i exploit whites light squared weaknesses | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. c4 b6 |
Queens Indian defence | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. e3 Bb7 5. Nbd2 Nc6 6. Qc2 Be7 7. a3 |
embarking on a plan of queenside expansion, prehaps prematurely | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... O-O 8. b4 |
continuing said plan | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... d5 |
best way to counter play on the wings? play in the centre of course! | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. e4 |
?? mistake loses a pawn for white, prehaps b5 continuing the plan of queenside expansion is better, else white should play a developing move such as Bb2 | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... dxe4 10. Nxe4 Nxd4 11. Nxd4 Qxd4 |
white not only lost a pawn, but a centre pawn and blacks position now looks much better as his pieces are better developed and in an open position such as this development is very important. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Nc3 |
only move to aviod further material loss | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... c5 |
fighting for space on the queenside | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Be3 |
developing with tempo. obviously not bxc5 when black achieves everything he could possibly want after Bxc5, whites queenside pawns are very weak and blacks bishops are deadly. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qe5 |
logical, maintaining the pin on the knight and creating a pin on the bishop on a central square the queen cannot be driven from | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Bd3 |
an interesting pawn sac, probably the best practical chance | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Rad8 |
refusing the sac as after 14...Bxg2 15.Rg1 white gets an attack going against my kingside. probably not worth the 2 pawns but i'd rather not have to weather the storm, i've got a winning material advantage anyway, i'd rather just have the task of converting it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. O-O Bd6 |
Forcing white to weaken the light squares around his king, which my light square bishop is in the perfect position to exploit | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. g3 |
forced | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bb8 |
reopening the rooks line of attack, but Bc7 is the better retreat as it would help in my fight for the d file in some lines later in the game | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Rad1 |
logical, opposing my rook on the d file | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Rxd3 |
removing whites light squared bishop and thus further weakening his white squares | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Qxd3 |
Rxd3 with the idea of tripling on the d file is prehaps stronger as white keeps a major piece on the 2nd rank | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Qh5 |
closing in on the light square weaknesses around the king, threating to come in on both h3 and f3 | ||||
| | |||||
| |||||
