1. e4 |
This was an unrated game, where I deliberately let my opponent have an extra queen early on. I do manage to gradually get back into the game, and reach an ending where I have three connected extra pawn, two of them passed pawns, which more or less balance out her extra rook. But then I misplay it horribly, and I get mated! | ||||||||

1... e5 |
So we start conventionally enough. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
2. Nc3 |
I develop my knight. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
2... Nf6 |
So does she! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
3. Qh5 |

3... Nxh5 |
She takes. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
4. Bc4 |
I develop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
4... Nc6 |
So does she. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
5. d3 |
I open a line for my other bishop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
5... Bb4 |
I'm not happy here. I was afraid she would swap her bishop of my knight. | ||||||||

So I make sure that at least my pawns are not doubled. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
6... O-O |
She castles | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
7. O-O |
So do I. I think her best move now is to exchange on c3. When materially ahead, exchange pieces, but not pawns, as a general rule of thumb. | ||||||||

But she develops instead. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
8. Nd5 |
So I move my knight. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
8... a6 |
I'm not quite sure of the reason for this move. | ||||||||

9. c3 |
I hit her bishop | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
9... Bc5 |
She retreats | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|

I hit it again. | ||||||||

She retreats again. | ||||||||
