1. e4 e5 |
I'll comment only from black's perspective, and taking a quick look through. I'm not analysing in any depth, so look for yourself at other possibilities, and don't be afraid to mention my oversights and errors ! | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 |
All standard and reasonable so far, remember not just the moves in an opening, their sequence too | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Be3 Qf6 |
This move does not look especially bad at first glance but remembering some of the team tips here are a few pointers - usually develop N and B before R or Q - early Q development can leave it vulnerable - Q is blocking f6 (stops Nf6) - creates weaknesses like c7 - Bc8 is still blocked in - still 2 moves required to castle | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. c3 Nge7 7. Bc4 d6 8. O-O Ne5 |
white has not exploited the vulnerable Q or the obvious weaknesses to any great extent. Now black has space and options that looked unlikely 3 moves back | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. b4 Nxc4 10. bxc5 dxc5 11. Nb5 Qc6 |
I really don't like this position for the Q. I would spend some time to look for better alternatives here. | ||||

12. a4 Be6 |
Not a bad move but a bit passive. I would have looked at a6 or 0-0 first. Consider also NxB followed by 0-0 | ||||

13. Bf4 Nd6 14. Bxd6 cxd6 15. Nxd6+ Kf8 16. e5 Rd8 17. Na3 a6 18. Nac4 Bxc4 |
White's blunder should be game over really. Black now needs to think about simplifying the position and swapping off material until his extra piece is decisive. First objective take off that N on d6, second get all pieces active. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Re1 Bd5 |
Nc8 puts more pressure on the N(d6) and will probably win the e5 pawn too and leave Q R in control of d file. Nice and simple ! | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Qh5 Ng6 21. Rab1 b6 |
I would have looked at Nxe5 or even RxN | ||||

22. Qg5 Rd7 23. h4 h6 |
Nxe5 finishs off the game | ||||

|
24. Qg4 Be6 |
It is even more obvious here Nxe5. Even h5 makes room for the R to come into play | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Qg3 Ke7 |
I don't like this. K is vulnerable now on black square | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. h5 Nf8 |
Now 2 pieces are locked on the back rank - but I won't mention the obvious N move Nxe5. I think this type of thoughtless move comes from playing too many games together, playing too quick, or just not giving adequate analysis time to each move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Qh4+ f6 28. f4 Rxd6 29. exd6+ Kd8 30. c4 Rg8 31. a5 Bxc4 |
Not an outright blunder this is not really improving the position. b5 looks better followed by g5 which gets the R into action | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. Rxb6 Qc8 33. Reb1 Nd7 34. Rb6b7 g5 |
Bb5 separates the rooks and gets that hanging B out of harm. I thought that was the logic for Bc4 in the first place | ||||

35. fxg5 Rxg5 |
Careless. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36. Qxc4 Qc6 37. Rb1b2 Qxd6 |
Rxg2 gets the combined Rs off the case leaves black 2 pawns for an exchange | ||||
| | |||||
|
38. Rb2b1 Qg3 39. Rb7b2 Qe3+ |
Rxh4 is worth a try | ||||
| | |||||
|
40. Rf2 f5 |
Ne5 looks better with a threat of Nd3 or Ng4 coming | ||||
| | |||||
|
41. Qxa6 f4 |
Marching the pawn takes way too long | ||||
