1. e3 Nf6 2. d3 e5 3. h3 d5 4. a3 Bd6 5. Be2 e4 |
I was going to suggest that a developing move like 5...0-0 would have been better here, but the move played prevents White developing his king's knight, so in this case it's probably better. Well seen! |
| | |
|
6. dxe4 dxe4 7. Nc3 Nc6 8. g4 |
Threatening to dislodge the knight on f6 that is protecting the pawn on e4. |
| | |
|
8... Be5 |
You had a promising position, but this is bad. 8...h6 was necessary to counter the threat of 9.g5. Disregarding that, you shouldn't move the same piece twice in the opening. |
| | |
|
9. Qxd8+ Nxd8 10. Bd2 |
Not the best move. 10.g5 would have won the e-pawn which is still preventing the development of the knight. |
| | |
|
10... Bxc3 |
I guess this is one way of safeguarding the pawn, but now your opponent is ahead on development. |
| | |
|
11. Bxc3 Ne6 |
e6 is the obvious square for the bishop, so 11...Nc6 was better. |
| | |
|
12. Bxf6 |
I don't think this was a good exchange for White. The bishop is a better piece than the knight in an open position like this. |
| | |
|
12... gxf6 13. O-O-O |
White gains control of the only open file, which could be significant. |
| | |
|
13... a6 |
Another bad move. You urgently need to develop your three remaining pieces. |
| | |
|
14. f3 |
White finally finds a way of developing his knight. |
| | |
|
14... Ng5 |
Once again the priority was the three undeveloped pieces - even at the expense of a pawn. |
| | |
|
15. h4 exf3 16. Nxf3 Bxg4 |
Giving up a knight for two pawns is not a good idea at this stage of the game. |
| | |
|
17. hxg5 fxg5 18. Rd4 Bxf3 19. Bxf3 c6 20. Bg4 |
Rooks work best in partnership, so 20.Rhe1 was best. |
| | |
|
20... f6 |
A wasted move. Black needs to get his rooks behind the passed pawns and start pushing them! |
| | |
|
21. Bf5 |
This actively encourages the pawn to leap forward! |
| | |
|
21... h6 |
Why not h5? |
| | |
|
22. Rhd1 |
At last! White's three pieces are now all pointing at the key square d7. Once that square is occupied by a white rook, the game is effectively over. |
| | |
|
22... O-O 23. Be6+ Kg7 24. Rd4d7+ Kh8 25. Bf5 Kg8 26. Rxb7 Rad8 27. Rdd7 Rxd7 28. Rxd7 Re8 29. e4 Kf8 30. Rh7 Kg8 31. Rxh6 Kg7 32. Rh7+ |
