1. e4 e5 |
1...e5, standard defence for me with open games. (I'm gonna give a walk through of my brain during a game, lol, as want to annotate this game move by move inorder to help beginners - intermediate get a feel for the mental processes and ideas of basic strategy and tactics.) | ||||

2. Nf3 Nc6 |
(secretly hoping it's not going to be the Ruy) | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. a3 Bc5 |
Putting my dark-squared bishop on the outside of the newly forming pawn chain. And anticipating an Italian game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Nc3 d6 |
Formed my pawn chain and am hoping to pin the f3 knight to the queen with Bg4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Bb5 Bg4 |
(Bummer, it was a late Ruy after all, but still got to counter with the g4 pin.) | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. h3 Bh5 |
I still want to keep the pin in hopes of weaking kingside push of the g pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. d3 h6 |
7...h6 to deny thier bishop the same chance to pin my knight to my queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bxc6+ bxc6 |
Naturally I take back, with sights on the newly opened b file for my rooks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. g4 Bg6 |
As I had hoped the kingside, in my mind, is dead to my opponent now. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. b4 Bb6 |
Further weaking their queenside pawn structure also I now have the advantage no matter where the opponent decides to castle. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Qe2 a5 |
I decide to attack the queenside since my pawn structure is less hospitable to my own castling and there's a chance I can pin the c3 knight to the king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. b5 Ne7 |
I continue on developing rather than taking the b pawn inorder to gain tempo and to kingside castle. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. a4 O-O |
I castle with intent on doubling the rooks sometime in the near future on the b file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Bb2 cxb5 |
I capture to both undouble my pawns & progress my backward c pawn, as well make a spot for my knight on c6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nxb5 c6 |
I fight the knight away becacuse I don't want to give it any advanced support squares, esp. in the area where I plan to do battle. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Nc3 Rb8 |
eyeing the undefended bishop, I plan to discover check the bishop, so to speak, and win a pawn in the process. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. O-O Bxf2+ |
Check! as planned they did not see it and they come up a pawn short. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Qxf2 Rxb2 |
I capture still intending to double the rooks on the b file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. h4 h5 |
I push the h pawn to prevent my bishop from being trapped and in hopes of further weaking the kingside. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. g5 f6 |
I push the f pawn still trying to clear out the kingside and free up my f8 rook to double up on the f file if need be. | ||||
