1. c4 |
I'll try the Reti Opening | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... e5 |
I guess he prefers KP openings | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. d3 |
I don't know why I didn't play Nc3.. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... h6 |
I thought this was premature.. my knight's not even on f3 yet | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nc3 |
now I make the knight move (I think I feared pawn advance on the 2nd move, followed by f5 because, at the time, his rating was much higher than mine) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... Bb4 |
he pins the knight | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Bd2 |
y bishop runs interference | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Nf6 |
he's ready to castle and I'm not even close! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. a3 |
I try to run off the bishop | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Bc5 |
It worked! (usually they trade me, knight for bishop) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. e3 |
I don't want him to force me to move the King with Bxe2 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... O-O |
his king is safe.. I'm still at least 2 moves away! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. g3 |
I'll put my white bishop on the long diagonal | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Nc6 |
I would have played d6 first (but what do I know?) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Bg2 |
one more piece to move and I can castle | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Ne7 |
this move confused me... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. b4 |
I decide to move the bishop back some | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Bxe3 |
he gets grumpy... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Bxe3 |
a pawn for a bishop. I don't understand, but I'll take it. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... d5 |
so... he wants centre control! | |||||
| | ||||||
