1. e4 |
Great move played by many great players. (Fischer) | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 |
Although I play a lot of Sicilian, it always hurts my heart to cancel a good-old open game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 |
...here preferred to 3.Bb5 - leading to the not so open Spanish game | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Nf6 |
counter-attacking the central pawn, here preferred to the safer 3...h3, preventing the following ... | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Ng5 |
with direct attack on the weak f7 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... d5 5. exd5 Na5 |
I like this variation as it is aggressive. Black sacrifices a pawn in attempt to grab the initiative and speed the development of his light pieces. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. d3 |
not the usual 6.Bb5 but rather building a strong pawn center. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... h6 |
the knight already means no threat at g5 and appears to be the weakest link in White's positioning of pieces. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Nf3 e4 |
the essence of the attack. 8.dxe4 is certainly not possible here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Qe2 |
White blocks the danger by pinning black's king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nxc4 |
My distant knight on the "a" for his white-square bishop looked to me like the best deal in this position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. dxc4 Bc5 |
The development of that bishop has been the greatest dilemma of my exhistance. 9...Bd6 with attack on h2 and blocking the aggressive d pawn also looks solid. Here I considered that king-side castling was the best white could get from his position, where Bc5 would pretty much justify itself. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Nfd2 |
The position here looks as good as even. Black has a more active play as a compensation for the lost pawn. For his undeveloped queen side, white has a double center pawns and chances of counter-play through Nb3 and Nc3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... O-O |
castling in the opening - whenever possible - is an indisputable rule for me and my opponent here. However, in his case it may not have been the wisest of choices. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. O-O |
my opponent certainly didn't like the idea of rook at e8. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bg4 |
strong move, but exclaim would not be proper here as this attack appears natural. The bishop is coming to pick up the fruits of White's blocked position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Qe1 |
not too many options, are there? | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Re8 |
securing my strongest weapon - the "e" pawn, that pretty much solved the game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Nb3 |
natural move for white unleashing the bishop on c1 and counter attacking queen side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qd6 |
realizing the importance of the diagonal held by my bishop, the fatality of 13...Bb6, and the shame of 13...Bd6/e7 | ||||
