Hi everyone. This is one game i play recently. I made a rook sacrifice, to get a better attacking position. Any comments are welcome. Enjoy! | |||||
|
1. e4 c5 2. d4 e6 |
I thought my opponent will play cxd4, but ok... | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. Bc4 |
I continue with my development. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Nc6 4. d5 Ne5 5. Bb3 b5 |
Here my opponent is trying to close down on my bishop, I had two options in my mind, a3 or a4, I played... | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. a3 |
a3, because if 6. a4 bxa4 7. Bxa4, and my bishop is no longer on a2-g8 diagonal which I like so much. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... c4 7. Ba2 Qh4 |
I didn't know what to think about this move. For me the queen come out to quickly, but if more support is added to her, it could mean trouble. | ||||

8. Qe2 |
Protecting my e and f pawn. | ||||

|
8... Bd6 |
Support is coming... | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Nc3 |
Another piece to protect my weak e pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Nf6 |
OK now I'm not that happy, g4 square is my weak point...so I think. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Nf3 |
Whit this move I was trying to drive away the Queen, and put some pressure on e5 Knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Qg4 |
And here I was starting to think about rook sacrifice. It was may turn to move, and if he goes for my rook, I could take my pieces closer to black King. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Nxb5 |
Well I decided to go for it, and lat see what my opponent will do... | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Qxg2 |
There is no turning back now, the bait is taken... | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Nxd6+ Ke7 13. Nxe5 |
I took two pieces for rook, and another trap is set. If my opponent decided not to take the rook, instead he will play Kxd6, then Nxf7+, and his rook is gone too. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qxh1+ |
Well he take the rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Kd2 Rf8 |
And he saw the trap. Now is time to protect the Knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nexc4 Ba6 |
Whit this move, I was scared for my e pawn... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. f3 |
so I protect him, and h pawn too ;) | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bxc4 17. Nxc4 exd5 |
And here is a mistake I grab with both hands. If my opponent play exactly as I want, than is mate in no more than ten moves. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. exd5+ Kd8 19. d6 |
! (I think this move deserves a !) | ||||
