Here is the second part of my team matches vs Kalyan. In this game I have been able to come from behind after an early game blunder and still managed to checkmate. |
|
1. e4 e5 2. c4
|
Taking space in the center, but has the inconvenient of weakening the the black spaces in the center (d4 e5). |

|
|
|
2... Nc6
|
Normal developpement |

|
|
|
3. Nc3 Bc5 4. Nf3 d6 5. Nd5
|
This has to be considered as a mistake, moving a piece twice in the opening without a good reason. |

|
|
|
5... Nf6 6. d3 O-O 7. a3 Bg4 8. Be2 Nxd5 9. exd5 Nd4
|
Nd4? I thought about a series of exchanges 10. Nxf3 Bxe2 but did not see 11. Nxe2... |

|
|
|
10. Nxd4 Bxe2 11. Nxe2
|
I'm one piece behind... At this moment I told myself : "OK, you made a mistake, just focus back on the game now". I decided to take some expansion on the king side, where he will most likely castle. |

|
|
|
11... Qf6
|
Threatening Qxf2 |

|
|
|
12. O-O
|
Now, the F pawn is pinned to his king by my bishop. |

|
|
|
12... Rae8
|
I'm now planning to push my e pawn and eventually move my queen and advance my f pawn. |

|
|
|
13. Ng3 Bd4
|
Pinning his b pawn to his rook and keeping his bishop in c8 to defend his weak pawn. |

|
|
|
14. Nh5 Qg6
|
Now I can push my f pawn forward. I don't know what white was trying to do with that move. It just allowed me to go forward with my plan. |

|
|
|
15. Qf3 f5 16. Ng3 e4 17. dxe4
|
I think Qd1 was better |

|
|
|
17... fxe4
|
Threatening his queen... |

|
|
|
18. Qh5 Qf6
|
Avoiding the exchange and putting even more pressure on f2. |

|
|
|
19. Rb1
|
Finally freeing his bishop |

|
|
|
19... Bxf2+
|
Getting some material back but pinning my bishop to my queen. Still, white needs to move his king and it allows me... |

|
|
|
20. Kh1 Re5
|
1. To drive his queen back and... |

|
|
|
21. Qe2 e3
|
2. To lock my bishop in f2. |

|
|
|
22. b4
|
He is now planning Bb2 to attack both my rook and my queen on the a1-h8 diagonal. |

|
|
|
22... Qh6
|
Countering his next move and threatening his knight, h pawn is now pinned to his King |

|
|
|
23. Qg4
|
Protecting the knight and planning Qh3 to try to exchange the queens. |
