My first attempt at annotation hope you enjoy it!! | ||||||
|
1. e4 |
reasonable choice involving many tactics unlike queen pawn games which invlove positional play which isn't one of my strenghths | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... c5 |
sicilian; sharp counter attacking defense to e4, one of my favorite defenses I am very familier with | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. Nf3 |
preparing d4, cxd4, Nxd4 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... e6 |
2....e6 sicilian | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nc3 |
sicilain variation; tried to confuse opponent | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... a6 |
variation of the sicilian kan defense | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Bb4 |
strong move but I think and prefer Nc6 which I think is stronger | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Bd2 |
unpin | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Qc7 |
actively placing the queen and maintaining a little pressure on c3 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Qg4 |
exploiting the weak g7 square | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... g6 |
was forced; f8 would have lost tempi; also note that this has caused a kingsde weakness and a hole on f6 which was the ideal place for a knight which can be easily attacked | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Rd1 |
placing my rook on a file that im eventually going to try to open and on which the rook might prove a handy tool for discovered attacks | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Nf6 |
preparing to castle (not really putting pressure on e4 which is needed) also trying to obtain a tempi by attacking my queen | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Qf3 |
retreating queen while attacking knight on the undefended hole of f6 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Nc6 |
tried to pressurize exchange with knight on d4 after which a strong attack on the queenside can be obtained via c file; unfortunately the threat to the knight on f6 wasn't answered! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Qxf6 Qe5 |
forcing exchange of queens; note exchanging simplifying the position when down in material leads to a losing endgame; you should never try to exchange when down in material; white happliy accepted queen trade | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. Qxe5 Nxe5 12. Na4 |
when you have a material advantage always try to exchange and simlify into a winning endgame | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12... Bxd2+ 13. Rxd2 O-O |
I think castling at this point is ineffective since the middle game is coming to an end; more effective would have been Ke7 trying to bring king into play | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. f4 |
gaining tempi while clamping onto space on kingside in prearation for endgame | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14... Ng4 15. Be2 |
gaining yet more tempi while opening lines for my bishop on the kingside | |||||
