1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 |
Most chess players prefer the Queen's Gambit declined over the Accepted version. Mostly because it is impossible for black to retain the extra pawn without giving up to much. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Be7 |
black play a very solid move. I have played 3. ..C5 adopting a tarracsh style of defence which leads to sharp positions. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Nf3 Nd7 |
This move is not black's best. Normally black plays Nc6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. cxd5 Nb6 |
Black goes down a pawn to gain rapid development and attacking chances. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. dxe6 Bxe6 |
A nice developing square for the bishop. However, this leaves the centre in white's control. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. e4 |
White grabs a monstrous share of the center | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... c6 |
black can not allow d5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bd3 |
one of the ways to defeat a gambit is to develop normally and make calm moves that strengthen your positon. Bd3 is a very strong developing move that prepares for kingside attacks. As well it clears the kingside back rank so that white can castle. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nf6 9. O-O O-O 10. Qc2 |
White can also play Bf4 to prevent black from developing his queen to c7 | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Qc7 11. e5 |
This allows my queen and bishop some room to move at the cost of allowing black to post a Knight at d5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Nfd5 12. Bxh7+ |
Not 12. Nxd5 allowing black to free up his position. The advantage of this move is that I win a pawn and create a weakness in front of Black's king with tempo | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Kh8 13. Be4 |
By refusing to capture the knight on d5 I force black to clarify the position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... f6 |
A weakening move that creates a serious hole on g6. If Black's idea is to attack white's centre, then c5 was a better try. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nh4 |
exploits the new weakness of g6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bf7 15. Nxd5 |
White jumps on the opportunity to get rid of blacks strong Knight by exploiting the overwelmed f7 bishop. Plus this dflects the f7 bishop from gaurding g6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Nxd5 16. Bxd5 Bxd5 17. Ng6+ Kg8 18. Nxf8 Rxf8 |
The game is over as white is almost a rook ahead. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Bf4 |
prepares for the capture of the pawn on e5 with the idea of centralizing the bishop on e5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... fxe5 20. Bxe5 Bd6 |
aiming to get rid of white's strong bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Rfe1 |
This is the best move because if black captures on e5 then the Rook gets lifted to e5. By which, white maintains his positional superiority over black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Bxe5 22. Rxe5 |
This is stronger than dxe5 because pawn is an easier target to attack. | ||||
