1. b4 |
the polish or sokolsky opening | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 |
establishing a hold on the center | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Bb2 |
offers to trade the pawn on b4 for the pawn on e5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... d6 |
in retrospect, i should really have traded and then continued develping, but this isnt so bad | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. e3 |
preparing a push to d4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Bf5 |
developing, aiming at the queenside | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Qf3 |
attacks the bishop and the pawn on b7 | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Bxc2 |
i decide to open the game up and possibly trap his queen in the corner | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Qxb7 Nd7 |
develops the knight to its only safe square, protects the rook and stops the queen from check on c6 | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Bb5 |
threatens Bxd7 either opening the king, or winning a rook if i blunder | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Ngf6 |
protects the knight | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. a3 |
not too sure about what this move accomplishes | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Rb8 |
the queen is almost trapped, if he takes the pawn then 8. Be4 basically wins the queen for a rook | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bxd7+ |
trading, "winning a pawn" | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nxd7 9. Qxa7 Be4 |
the queen needs to retreat along the a file | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. f3 |
terrible mistake, after 10. Ra8 the queen is sunk | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Ra8 11. Qxa8 |
getting a rook at least, also opens the queenside for later attacks | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bxa8 |
taking with the queen isnt bad, as it opens up his kingside, but i was playing conservatively | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Ne2 |
developing, preparing to castle | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... g6 |
preparing to bring the bishop out and castle | ||||
