This game was from a team match. Although the game isn't that impressive, I liked the way I finished it. | ||||||
|
1. e4 |
e4, claiming some central squares and allowing the rapid development of the bishop and queen. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... e5 |
Claiming some space in the centre. I don't like to play the Sicilian, as I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing, and sometimes suffer because of this. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. Nf3 |
Attacking the pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... Nc6 |
Defending my pawn - I expected a Ruy Lopez (Spanish Game) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nc3 |
I prefer Bb5 - given the opportunity, why not play the Ruy Lopez? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... Nf6 |
White's knight prevents the advance of the c-pawn, making d4 difficult. Attacking the e4 pawn (and so preventing the knight from moving) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Bb5 |
Not as strong as on the 3rd move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... d6 |
allowing the pin, but protecting the e pawn and threatening Bg4 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. d4 |
threatening d5, and my knight is pinned (and lost) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Bd7 |
un-pinning the knight and possibly preparing 0-0-0 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Bc4 |
Attacking f7 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... exd4 |
I decide to exchange on d4 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Nxd4 |
The exchange of knights is forced | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Nxd4 |
Eliminating the knight | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Qxd4 |
The queen could be vunerable here - but then c5 would be ugly | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Be7 |
preparing to 0-0 - although this is prevented by white's next move | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Bxf7+ |
My bishops may be passive at the moment, but white threatens nothing | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Kxf7 |
His attack is not worth the bishop | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Bg5 |
Preparing to castle 0-0-0 ? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Rf8 |
I castle 'by hand' | |||||
