1. d4	D4 opening.



1... d5 2. Nc3 e6 3. e4	Strong double pawn push.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2340) on 24-Aug-07: The game has transposed into a French Defence. Black's response is the Winawer Variation.


3... Bb4 4. Bb5+ c6 5. Bd3 dxe4	Doesn't double up pawns with Bxc3??
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2340) on 24-Aug-07: At move 4, White can try 4.e5 (the most usual), 4.a3 or Alekhine's "Fingerslip Variation" 4.Bd2. 4.Bb5ch looks like a loss of time, although Black might have considered 4...Bd7 rather than the pawn intervention.


6. Bxe4 Nf6	Still no double pawn.
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 21-Aug-07: Black doesn't want to give white the 2 bishop edge.


7. Bg5 O-O	Black castle 7th move.



8. Nf3	Horses at the 3 line. strong offense.



8... h6 9. Bxf6 Qxf6	Queen @ F6 . Opponents play that alot.. I don't like.
	1 comment archduke_piccolo (2340) on 24-Aug-07: The exchange on f6 is understandable as a time-saver, but since Black can safely retake with the queen, he gets the better of the bargain, it seems to me. 9.Bh4 looks fine.


10. O-O	Castle 10th move.



10... Bxc3 11. bxc3	Double up finally happens.



11... Nd7 12. Qd3	Moving queen into play.



12... Qf4	Dumb move on black.



13. g3 Qg4 14. Ne5 Nxe5 15. dxe5	Queen threat, trade knight, pawn on 5 line.



15... f6 16. f3 Qh3	Queen in worthless spot for rest of game.



17. Qd6 Rf7	Dumb move. Should of went f6xe5.
	1 comment omer266 (1438) on 06-May-09: White actually had a much stronger 17th move than Qd6: 17. Bh7+ Kf7 18. Qg6+ Ke7 19. Qxg7+ Ke8 20. Bg6+ Kd8 21. Qxf8+ and white is way ahead in material with a strong attack.


18. exf6 Rxf6 19. Qd8+ Rf8 20. Qd3	Moved queen back into line with bishop.



20... e5 21. Rae1	Setting up control of d-f line of board.



21... Kf7	Dumb move. should of moved queen to d7.



22. f4 exf4 23. Rxf4+ Ke8 24. Rxf8+	Rook exchange.
	2 comments ruachessnut2 (1200) on 23-Aug-07: Poor move! 24. Bg6# or Bxc6# Lets play chess the smart way. The cruel way is 24. Bf5+ Kf78 25. Bxh3+ Kg68 26. Qd8 Bxh3 27. Qxa8 & blacks 5 pawns & a bishop will lose whites 5 pavns, 2 rooks & a queen. littlemax (1600) on 29-Aug-07: Just push BE4 to G6 Mate


24... Kxf8 25. Bh7	Jered's bishop line. Game over unless he moves the queen.
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 21-Aug-07: Game over see my move 24. Bg6++ & mate.


25... Bg4 26. Qd6+ Kf7 27. Qe7#	End Game.
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 21-Aug-07: Mate at move 24 avoids a needless rook sac & 3 needless moves.
