1. e4 c6 |
caro-kann it was tempting to play sicilian, but i wanted to play something leo probably didn't face very often... | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. d4 d5 |
i played this by accident, and cursed my early casualness... it was force of habit... i had been toying with 2... g6 and was getting good results, winning all three, but i habitually played 2... d5 and was on book... | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. e5 |
advance variation | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Bf5 4. Nf3 e6 5. Be2 Nd7 6. O-O f6 |
and we're off book... the point here was to aid the development of the knight, and give the rook an open file after castling... didn't turn out quite that way... | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. exf6 Ngxf6 |
seems ok to me... | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Bd3 Ne4 |
i think this might've been a mistake, not too sure, but i certainly don't think it was a good idea to get tactical with the guy... should've just traded the bishops and hurried castling along... | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Nbd2 |
i did anticipate this... | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Ndf6 10. Ne5 |
but not this...! | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Qb6 |
? i should've developed the bishop | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Bxe4 |
and off we go... | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Nxe4 |
? bad, bad move... but i didn't see the extent of the damage this would cause... | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Nxe4 Bxe4 13. Qh5+ |
! and here's why... | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... g6 14. Nxg6 |
! and now i'm starting to worry... surely a man of this rating couldn't drop a knight in a dodgy sac...? | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Bxg6 |
well, what else...? | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Qe5 |
! excellent... attacks rook and king's pawn... the rook has no flight square, since after 15... Rg8 16. Qxe6 wins the rook anyway... so it wasn't a dodgy sac after all... it was brilliant... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Bg7 |
return of material is the only way to save rook... i'm down a pawn, and wide open... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Qxg7 |
naturally... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... O-O-O |
and the rook saved, but at what cost...? | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Bf4 |
oh dear... now the queen is tied down to preventing mate... how i could use that black square bishop... | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Bxc2 |
plan... even out the game and trade queens... part one was simple... | ||||
