This game features a great number of pinned pieces... with a funny use of it. | |||||
|
1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. c4 e6 4. Nc3 Qe7 |
An Icelandic, "strong line", with this awkward move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Qe2 |
With this, White is almost ok, so I tried something different. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... e5 6. Nf3 |
I had to keep on pushing the pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Bg4 7. h3 Bh5 8. d3 |
My pawn push is stopped. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Nbd7 9. g4 Bg6 10. Bg5 O-O-O 11. a3 |
Good move. My next one would have been Qb4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Qd6 |
Until now, the pins have been normal. This move helps redeploy my Q, free the e column, the dsb... but has a downside. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Ne4 Bxe4 |
Almost forced, or the Q goes to b6, but with no perspectives. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. dxe4 Qb6 |
Still, b3 can be a good outpost. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. b4 |
Ok, white is threatening hard, so I have to came up with something new. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bxb4+ 15. axb4 Qxb4+ |
I swear this gives me some compensation for the pieces, more than the 2 pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bd2 Qb2 17. Rxa7 Qb1+ |
This was in the spotlight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Qd1 |
QxQ, followed by Nxe4 doesn't seem enough. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Qxe4+ |
Pinning the N... | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Be2 |
...and the B. Now, c5 was interesting, but I went, very "naively"... | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Nc5 |
Threatening Nd3+. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Kf1 |
The white N is pinned (not the B anymore), but I can't see any good way to attack. h5 is not promising. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Na6 |
Well, this forces him in Ra1+, or he will lose an exchange. I expected Be3, but my opponent went... | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Rg1 |
...unpinning the N. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... c6 |
Threatening d5, with the threat to pin the B, but overlooking white's possible reactions. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Ng5 |
Good move, forcing me back into... | ||||
