1. e4 e6 2. d3 |
Not sure, what this is called, but I'm coming up against it more and more recently | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
2... d5 3. Nd2 |
e5 seems to be the other popular choice | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
3... Nc6 |
I used to play c5 here but decided this was better | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
4. Ngf3 e5 |
not a move i see many people play really, but I really fancy blacks position here | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
5. c3 |
Seems a little too defensive a setup for white for my liking, but if it works, it works | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
5... Nf6 6. Be2 Be7 7. Qc2 O-O 8. O-O Be6 9. a3 d4 |
Think this is the right time to push, could play Qd7, Rad8 first but I don't think it helps a great deal | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
10. cxd4 |
whites best option here I think is to swap off like he did | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
10... Nxd4 11. Nxd4 exd4 12. Nf3 |
Now with the pawn advantage in the centre, e5 is always a threat | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12... c5 |
decided to play c5 to bring another pawn into my centre and to aim for a6, b5 later on | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13. b4 |
this move still strikers me as a bit odd, I guess it's a way of generating some play for himself, and he obviously thinks if he plays this, he will win the pawn on d4 back at some stage | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... cxb4 14. axb4 Bxb4 15. Ba3 |
15 Rb1... a5 And I think black is better, this is to exchange the black bishop and weaken my possible defense of the d4 pawn further | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Bxa3 16. Rxa3 b5 |
Have to start these pawns rolling | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. Qc5 |
there goes d4! Looks like b4 was a very good tactical move after all | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... a6 18. Nxd4 Nd7 |
Have to bring the knight into the action | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. Qd6 Nb6 20. Qb4 Qf6 |
want to get my queen active to free up the rooks on the bottom rank without putting it somewhere it can be attacked easily | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21. Nxe6 |
Maybe a slightly strange move seeing as this is pretty much his only decent piece, maybe he thinks that his bishop can outplay my knight in the long run | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... fxe6 |
decided to take back with this to open a nice little F-file and provide a barrier for his 2 central pawns that he is trying to advance | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22. d4 |
here they come, perhaps a bit too early as I can easily attack it but maybe I'm just being picky ;) | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22... Rfd8 23. Rd1 Qf4 |
Trying to make him wish he hadn't pushed the pawn and weakned them! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24. Qb3 |
Very clever move | |||||||
| | ||||||||
