1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 e6 3. Qf3 |
?! Playing for a quick mate. | ||||
| 1 comment | |||||
|
3... Nc6 |
Controlling the e5 square and preparing Nf6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. c3 |
?! White risks to fall back in development. There is no way he can play d2-d4 on the next move, therefore his 4. c3 is pointless. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Nf6 |
Now the d5 square is controlled and black is ready to play d7-d5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. d3 |
?! Very passive pawn play, black is already clearly better developed. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... d5 6. exd5 exd5 |
Black seizes the initiative. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Bb5 Bg4 8. Bxc6+ |
?! The bishop made three moves to get exchanged for a knight that made just one move. | ||||

|
8... bxc6 9. Qg3 |
Not a good square for the Queen - here it is vulnerable. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Bd6 |
Eqploiting the position of the white Queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Qe3+ |
If 10. Bf4 then black plays the intermezzo 10. ...Qe7 | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Kd7 |
! gaining another tempo - now Re8 winning the queen is threatened. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Qd2 Re8+ 12. Kf1 Qe7 |
Black has developed 5 pieces while white has only one piece playing. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. f3 |
What else? White pieces are tied down. He tries to secure the e2 square. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Rab8 |
!? The advantage in development has to be exploited as soon as possible. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. fxg4 |
After some thought white accepts the sacrifice. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Nxg4 |
Threatening Bf4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nf3 |
This leaves the e2 square vulnerable and black immediately regains his sacrificed piece. How else could white continue development? 15. Na3 might look like a good alternative, but it runs into 15. ...Rxb2!! - conquering the important e3 square for the knight. The best was 15. Qe2, but then black could continue his attack with 15. ...Qh4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Bf4 |
! | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Qc2 |
If 16. Qxf4 then 16. ...Qe2 17. Kg1 and 17. ...Qf2# | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bxc1 |
White can't recapture and is now completely lost. Black threatens both Ne3 and Rxb2 winning. | ||||
