1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5 |
The Latvian or elephant gambit, my second favourite black opening after the scilian dragon. |
| | |
|
3. Nxe5 dxe4 4. Bc4 Qd4 |
This was very risky but the only move to save his knight would have to be 4.Qd4 Qh5 and then white's queen would inevitably be chased around the board. |

5. c3 Qxe5 6. O-O Qg5 |
Once again I've been rather stupid. This is a terrible move. |

7. g3 |
The correct move. |
| | |
|
7... Bh3 8. Re1 Qf5 |
To protect black's e-pawn |
| | |
|
9. Be2 |
To stop 9. ... Qf3 threatening checkmate. |
| | |
|
9... Bc5 |
Black's intention's are to take his pawn wth check then checkmate white on g2. |
| | |
|
10. d4 Bb6 11. a3 |
? A very strange move. It seems white might be trying to get a good pawn structure, but on the wrong side. |
| | |
|
11... Nf6 12. Nd2 Ng4 |
Threatening to go for the f2 pawn again. |
| | |
|
13. Nxe4 |
This is a very good move. White protects the f2 square and black's queen can't take it because 13.Nxe4 Qxe4 14. Bb5 wins black's queen. |
| | |
|
13... Nc6 14. Bf3 O-O-O |
Black now looks at piling up on d4 and maybe sacrificing a piece. |
| | |
|
15. Be3 |
White anticipates black's plan. |
| | |
|
15... Rhe8 |
Black attacks white's knight which is only defended once. |
| | |
|
16. b4 |
? While normally in this position this would have been a good move, while black is threatening numerous checkmates perhaps the best offense is a good defense? |
| | |
|
16... Rxe4 17. Bxe4 Qxe4 |
Threating checkmate on f2. |
| | |
|
18. a4 |
Unfortunatly white doesn't see this. |
| | |
|
18... Qg2# |
0-1 |
