1. e3 |
For the record, I do not know the names of many positions. So I'll just write out my thoughts on the game.. Decent opening. Granted, it's a little hard to make a bad opening. (No insult to Gsani) | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... d5 |
Also a decent opening.. I believe I have the French Defense in mind, but I could be wrong. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. d4 |
So does he. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... e6 3. Nc3 |
He attacks my pawn, not really gaining anything, as he wouldn't sacrifice a Knight for a pawn. It could also be that he's developing it and it happens to be attacking the pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Nf6 |
I protect it once more all the same, at the same time developing my Knight so I have room to castle. | ||||

4. g3 g6 5. Bg2 Bg7 |
I forgot what this is called. I think it had an Italian name. We both do it. | ||||

6. Nf3 |
He does it too, and we both castle. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... O-O 7. O-O Nc6 |
I attack his pawn, developing my Knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. a3 b6 9. b4 Ba6 |
I'm trying to make him move his Rook for some reason. Nothing gained. | ||||

10. Re1 |
He does, though, instead of blocking. He intends to move his e pawn, and open up that file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... b5 11. Bb2 Ng4 |
I move my Knight, making way for the Bishop. I plan to move the e pawn to attack his d pawn again, then use the bishop to assist in the take. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. e4 |
He sees my plan and attacks d5 a second time, forcing me to keep the e pawn where it is. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... f5 |
12. ... Ne7 would have been a better move, but I play f5 to respond to his attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. exd5 |
He attacks anyway, clearing the file for his Rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... exd5 |
I make that easy for him | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nd2 |
He moves his knight to make way for the Bishop. He plans to capture the pawn, protected only by my Queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Ne7 |
I respond by moving my knight to e7, to protect the pawn, failing to see the attack I've left myself open to. I'm not talking about the Rook, either. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Rxe7 |
As I expected, he takes my Knight... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Qxe7 |
... forcing me to take back. It is at this point I see his devious plan. IT IS... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bxd5+ |
... To take d5, forking my King and my Rook. I have no way to block without losing more than I should. | ||||
