I am annotating this game at the request of a friend, teardrop34, who played this in an over-the-board game. | ||||||
|
1. e4 |
So white starts conventionally. | |||||
| 1 comment | ||||||
|
1... e5 |
Jeremy replies in kind. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. d4 |
White play the Centre game (C21). It is not meant to give white any advantage, as it opens up the game too early. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... exd4 |
So Jeremy takes. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. c3 |
White offers a pawn sacrifice. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... d5 |
Black counters in the centre. This is the recommended reply. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. e5 |
White advances. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... dxc3 |
Black now takes the offered pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. Nxc3 |
White recaptures and attacks the pawn on d5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... d4 |
So black advances and counter-attacks the knight. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Nb5 |
And now the pawn on d4 is attacked twice, by queen and knight, but only protected once. | |||||

6... a6 |
Black gives the pawn back, as a rather nasty check is in the air. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Nxd4 |
White takes the pawn back. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Bb4+ |
But this check comes in. If white blocks with the bishop, the knight on d4 falls, so white is forced to play a very unnatural move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Ke2 |
White cannot castle now. | |||||

8... Qe7 |
The pawn on e5 is now threatened. Ne7 is more commonly played here. We are now out of the Gameknot databases. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Ngf3 |
The logical way to protect e5 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Bg4 |
By pinning the knight, black threatens e5 again. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Qb3 |
Not sure what this achieves. I was expecting Bf4 to protect e5 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Nd7 |
Black could have just taken on e5 with the queen. | |||||
