1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. c4 |
My preffered line of the scandinavian | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5. d3 |
safest move in this line IMO | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Bf5 |
Better than the usual Bg4, Nd4 IMO, causes white real problems. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Nf3 e5 7. Nc3 Bc5 |
Black is shaping up nicely | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Be2 Qd7 |
Preparing Rd8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Nh4 |
Rather than the usual 0-0, Rd8, Ne1. Not sure if it's sound or not. But thought it would buy me some time anyway | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Bxf2+ |
So much for buying me time! | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Kxf2 Qd4+ 11. Kg3 |
Alternative was Be3, Qxh4 , g3, Qh3. But thought I could hold the knight | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... g6 |
Good move. Can't take the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. h3 |
Creating an escape square for the king, although I'm sure there's a better line here this is a simple line and I was running low on time White - 18 minutes Black - 20 minutes | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... O-O-O |
The right move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Nf3 |
Maybe there is a better move but nothing wrong with this | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qd6 14. Bg5 |
A bad move, e4 and white is pegged back considerabely. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Nh5+ |
the best move considering he missed e4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Kf2 |
Can't play the planned Kh2 as e4 is then still playable | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Rd7 |
Think this is a bit slow. e4 is still strong IMO | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Nd5 |
Blocking the siege on d3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Re8 17. Be3 |
didn't like possibilies of Qg3 later on picking up the bishop | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... e4 |
Should've been played earlier but still the right move IMO | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. dxe4 |
Best response. | ||||
