1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 h6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Be3 |
I'm not too keen on this move. It compromises your kingside pawn structure too much. If you want to exchange bishops, play Qe2 first. |
| | |
|
5... Bxe3 6. fxe3 Nf6 7. h3 |
Another weakening move. There is now a big hole on g3 just waiting for Black's knight. |
| | |
|
7... d6 8. O-O Nh5 9. Nh2 |
The knight is out of the game here and your threat is easily defended. |
| | |
|
9... Nf6 |
0-0 was a better move. |
| | |
|
10. Nc3 g5 |
Black needs to safeguard his king before playing moves like this. |
| | |
|
11. Qf3 Be6 12. Bxe6 fxe6 13. Qxf6 Qxf6 14. Rxf6 |
Black should resign at this point! |
| | |
|
14... Ke7 15. Raf1 Rag8 16. Ng4 |
Try to work out what your opponent's response will be before you make a move. Rf7 was the obvious move. |
| | |
|
16... h5 17. Nh2 g4 |
Threatening ...g3, winning the knight. |
| | |
|
18. Kh1 |
This doesn't help, Black can still play ...g3. The best solution was Rf7 followed by R1f6, vacating f1 for the knight. |
| | |
|
18... gxh3 |
...g3 would have put Black right back in the game. |
| | |
|
19. gxh3 Rg3 20. Rf6f3 Rhg8 21. Rxg3 Rxg3 22. Rf3 Rg5 23. a3 a6 24. b4 |
At this point White needs to make a plan. The first priority is activate the knight on h2. |
| | |
|
24... b5 25. Ne2 |
The wrong knight moves! |
| | |
|
25... d5 26. exd5 exd5 27. c3 Ke6 28. e4 dxe4 29. dxe4 h4 |
This helps White a lot! |
| | |
|
30. Ng4 Ne7 31. Rf8 Rg7 32. Ra8 c6 33. Rxa6 Rf7 34. Kg2 Kd6 35. a4 |
Don't be in a hurr to push your extra pawn. Improve the position of your knight on e2 first (e2-c1-d3). |
| | |
|
35... bxa4 36. Rxa4 Ng6 37. c4 |
This weakens your pawn on b4. The best plan was still to activate the knight on e2. But before you can do that you must challenge Black's control of the f-file by playing your rook to f3 (via a3). |
| | |
|
37... Ne7 38. Ra5 Ng6 39. c5+ Ke6 40. Ng1 |
This was your opportunity to exchange rooks by playing 40.Ra6 Kd7 41.Ra7 . The more pieces go off, the bigger your advantage becomes. |
| | |
|
40... Nf4+ 41. Kh2 Nh5 |
Black could have won the b-pawn by playing 41...Rb7 42.Ra4 Nd3. |
| | |
|
42. Ra6 Rf4 43. Rxc6+ Ke7 44. Nxe5 |
I don't think you needed another pawn! You should have been able to see the consequences. |
| | |
