| ||||||
Playing White is my best friend Baker he blundered his queen horribly in the opening but ended up winning humorously | ||||||
|
1. e4 |
White controls the centre and opens lines for development. I prefer the slower strategic buildup openings that arise from 1.Nf3 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... e6 |
The French Defense, Black wants to challenge White's pawn with d5 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. d4 d5 3. f3 |
The main lines to this opening are Nc3, e5, and Nd2. White has played f3? which loses a pawn because of dxe4 fxe4?? Qh4 ! but Baker planned to sacrifice the pawn anyway. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... dxe4 |
Black probably thinks White will take e4 and Black will win it back with Qh4 with White's king in disarray | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Nc3 |
This move transposes into a form of Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, but where Black has already played e6, so Bg4 is impossible. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... exf3 |
Black immediately accepts Baker's sacrifice. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. Nxf3 |
For compensation for the pawn, White has two developed knights and a strong pawn in the centre, while Black has no pieces developed. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Nf6 |
Trying to catch up in development so the extra pawn will be winning later | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Bg5 |
White plans to play Qd2 O-O-O and start attacking Black's kingside | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Be7 7. Qd2 h6 |
Pushing away the annoying bishop. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Bh4 |
White still wants his bishop on this diagonal in case Black moves the knight he can trade his bad bishop for Black's good one. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... g5 |
Black weakens his position more in exchange for a tempo chasing White's bishop | |||||

9. Bg3 |
I thought Bf2 was better because Bg3 isn't as solid | |||||

9... Nh5 |
Or maybe Bf2 now | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. O-O-O |
Baker doesn't like to waste moves and tries to develop as quickly as possible. Although leaving the bishop on g3 was a big mistake and is losing immediately. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Nxg3 |
Black wins at least a piece | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. hxg3 |
White probably thought the open h-file and Black's light square weakness was enough to compensate for his doubled pawns and lack of bishop pair, but Baker missed Black's tactic. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... g4 |
Baker claims to be "da masta" of tactical play, but I can't believe he overlooked this when he castled queenside. | |||||

12. Ne5 |
When Baker showed me this position, he said he already saw Bg5 and would rather lose his queen for a bishop and still be active, than to defend passively down a piece for nothing. I must say that he has major guts, although losing the queen may actually be better since desperate times call for desperate measures. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12... Bg5 |
This guy may be expecting Baker to resign | |||||
