1. b3 |
Larsen's opening, also called Queen's fianchetto opening. The idea is to prepare for a fianchetto of the queen's bishop which will attack throught the long diagonal b2-f6, This was the first time I've encountered such a strange opening. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 |
Limiting the influence of the would-be finachettoed bishop and attempting to control the center, also d5 or c5 were both possible | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Bb2 Nc6 |
Protecting my central pawn and developing a piece | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. e3 |
Preparing for d4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... d5 4. Bb5 |
White threatens to wina pawn after ... a6? Bxc6 bxc6 Bxe5 but the reply was easy! | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Bd6 |
This develops a piece and prepare for castling as e5 wastes time and inceases the influence of the finachettoed bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Bxc6+ |
Mistake, now white exchanged his bishop fo a knight without gaining any advantage, if it was afte a6 then this move wouldn't have been too bad. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... bxc6 6. d4 |
Now white has blocked the way of his own fianchettoed bishop! | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... e4 7. c4 Qg5 |
Threatening to win a pawn but it was just a threat! | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. g3 |
Really poor move, Ne2 was better, after that I can't take the pawn. Now white is in trouble! | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Bg4 9. Ne2 Bf3 |
Exploiting the weakness of the light squares in the white camp. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Rg1 Ne7 |
Probably Nf6 was better here, but Ne7 isn't bad! | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Ba3 |
White realizes that his blocked bishop isn't doing him any good so he decides to exchange it! | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bxa3 12. Nxa3 O-O 13. c5 |
Mistake, white closed the situation with no advantage for him, cxd5 was far better and then he could attack through his half-open c file! | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nf5 |
Bringing force to the combat zone, and I was thinking I could play Nxe3 aftewards which puts the white in serious trouble | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Qd2 |
Preventing Nxe3! | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Qh5 15. h4 |
Theaten to win a pawn, and h4 was the only possible reply! | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Qg4 16. Nf4 |
A mistake the loses the white a pawn, but understandable because Nxh4 wasn't that obvious! | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nxh4 |
Wining a pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Qa5 Rfc8 18. b4 |
