1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 |
Karo Kann opening. One of my favourites. |
| | |
|
3. exd5 cxd5 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Bd3 Bg4 6. h3 Bxf3 7. Qxf3 Nc6 8. c3 e5 |
Challenging the center |
| | |
|
9. Bb5 exd4 10. cxd4 Be7 11. O-O O-O 12. Bxc6 bxc6 |
Now I have a weak c pawn but this is compensated by the wite's isolated pawn. |
| | |
|
13. Nc3 Rb8 14. a3 |
I think this was a mistake. White should have played b3. |
| | |
|
14... a5 15. Bf4 Rxb2 16. Rfb1 Rxb1+ 17. Rxb1 Bxa3 |
I calculated this move very hard and a came to the conclusion that I could gain material and positional advantage. |
| | |
|
18. Be5 |
White tries to remove one the defenders of d5. Better was 18. Bg5 |
| | |
|
18... Nd7 |
Another good move would have been 18. Bb4. But I was most interested in exchange material. |
| | |
|
19. Nxd5 Nxe5 20. Qxa3 Qxd5 21. dxe5 Qxe5 |
Now all I hve to do is to hang on the material advantage. |
| | |
|
22. Rc1 Rd8 |
Threatening mate on d1 |
| | |
|
23. g3 h6 |
Eliminating any threats in my back rank. |
| | |
|
24. Rxc6 |
White took the bait. Now multiple threats materialize |
| | |
|
24... Rd1+ |
I found this was the best one. |
| | |
|
25. Kg2 |
If 25. Kh2 then 25.... Qe1 followed by mate on g1 or h1. |
| | |
|
25... Qe4+ 26. Qf3 |
Big mistake. |
| | |
|
26... Rg1+ |
The white queen is gone |
| | |
|
27. Kxg1 Qxf3 28. Rc8+ Kh7 |
