Hello all! This is my first annotated game and since English is not my first language, I may have a few problems with chess' technical terms. Anyway! This is a game where I have been able to launch a powerful attack on the black king | |||||
|
1. e4 c5 |
This is a move I don't like. I'm not very familiar with the Sicilian and I often find myself in a tough spot when opponents use it... (It is intentional to say it out loud in this annotation... I want people to use it against me so I'll practice it and since then I got to play the Sicilian quite a few times) | ||||

2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. Bb5 e5 5. d3 a6 6. Bxc6 dxc6 |
I really don't know if those moves are what is normally recommended, though I think I made pretty good responses to black moves. He now has double pawns on the C file and the bishop vs knight exchange in this game seems to be at my advantage... | ||||

7. Nxe5 |
and of course they allow me to take his E pawn! | ||||

|
7... Qd4 8. Nf3 |
Placing the piece on a secure space and driving his queen back | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Qd8 9. Bg5 |
pinning his knight... eventually preparing e4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Be7 |
wisely breaking the pin | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. h3 |
At this point I decided I would be better to castle queen side and take advantage of the fact he will most likely castle on the king side to launch an attack with my pawns... I also wanted to avoid the pin by Bg4 | ||||

10... O-O |
I was really happy to see him do this | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. e5 |
Opening up the center. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Nd5 12. Bxe7 Qxe7 13. Ne4 |
And now my two knights have an eye on his king side | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nf4 |
Threatening Nxg2 but I was already planning to place my rook in g1! | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Rg1 Bf5 |
He wants to force the exchanges, which is good, but now I can place my knight on a really powerful space... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nd6 |
Nd6! That knight can't be removed so easily, and will prove to be important for the final attack | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Bg6 16. Qd2 |
Preparing 17. O-O-O and attacking his knight... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nd5 17. O-O-O Qc7 |
Qc7? He now wants to build an attack on my queen side with moves like Nb4 and Qa5, but there is no real potential in that plan. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. g4 |
Launching my own attack. Pawn storm! | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Nb4 |
Setting up Qa5 or Nxa2 ... | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. a3 |
but a simple pawn move counters his plan. Na2 is refuted by Kb1 and the knight is lost. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Nd5 |
He is back where he started. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. h4 |
Pressing forward | ||||
